I think (only have three kids myself) I still try to worry about stuff I shouldn't, and then I worry about the stuff that's just too big to tackle, but I worry anyway. I worry they'll be drug addicts or alcoholics, I worry Emily will give herself up to some underving creep, or some sick-o in life will come take it from her, etc. Parenting is SCARY stuff.<BR/><BR/>I love the bit about your daughter having a teenaged daughter of her own. I'm scared of what teenager land is like (I'll find out in another 7.5 years!)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the smile!Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13160551209809872319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-81116589396385182722007-11-30T16:28:00.000-05:002007-11-30T16:28:00.000-05:00amy - yes, you've got to figure that if it needs i...amy - yes, you've got to figure that if it needs instructions, it's not worth it<BR/><BR/>mrs g - I love this pizza story!

He got one anyway at about 6 months old, and then the gifter tried to show him the "right way" to play with it. Yeah, that went over real well. Never saw that toy again...amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02429539000041713324noreply@blogger.com
