I Love My Kids

Travelling through France and on a pit stop sleep over hotel I get to share a room with my 12 year old Son.

When we're alone together he talks and asks questions about things he wouldnt do so in a group.
So last nights questions were quiet deep and all about his future; It suddenly made me remember how I felt at his age. Bewilderment and apprehension about making it in life.

His questions;

Dad, how much will i need to earn to have my own place?

How much will i have to pay for a mortgage?

If I find a place and move in what happens if I want to move, can i do that?

Dad I worry that ill get paid and ill spend my money in the first two days and then not be able to pay the mortgage or rent.

Whats the best job that pays the most money so I can afford somewhere?

Dad, I know being a Doctor or a vet is paid well but im worried that if I do surgery ill make a mistake and its really heavy if youve got someones life in your hands.

Bless him. I love my kids.

It is lovely and very important that he feels comfortable enough to ask these questions without fear of ridicule. I learnt at a very young age not to ask my father anything. On a positive note, this made me more determined that as my children grew up, they would have the freedom to ask or express their wishes and we would take through it together. If your relationship continues in this way then you will continue your journey in the way I did with mine and I can't express enough the comfort and pleasure that the closeness that my two have with us, brings to us.

AW, Penny Noodles was my cat's name. She is no longer with us but was rather special. It's not a black cat by chance is it? @Ironicman
@pennynoodles 🙂 👍
