How old were you when you first became a parent? What 3 things did parenthood teach you? If you had to do it all over again, would you still have had

children? And how many if you could choose again? This posting is about children and parents. Happy weekend.

38 (by court order, last November).

Still learning . . but it is teaching me (1) New ways of viewing the world; (2) Infinite patience; (3) The lyrics of every single Taylor Swift song . .

Without hesitation. And unrestrained by financial/work considerations and the good advice of my wife, I would probably have turned our home into an orphanage by now.

Happy weekend to you too 🙂

@SunshineGirl I will still heart this even if you mentioned that singer. Ew. LOL. Being a parent is about learning and teaching, both. You are a good person. Blessings. I have off tonight. And today. I am rocking it!

@PoetryNEmotion TS is the ultimate test of unconditional parental love . . I'm sure it will all be worth it in the long term!
