Your son had a bad patch last year didn't he, if I remember rightly, what was it that got him over that one? |
Repeated kicks up the backside and good old fashioned home rules to be observed.  |

lol.......oh dear aren't kids a total pain at times, they are so inconsiderate.....lol....dont they know or realise we worry about them......
well yes of course they do....but they are having to lead their own lives....they have their things on their mind and are too busy to worry or wonder or somethine even think about us parents.......
and it does not get any better, sorry to say.
my lot are grown up with kids of their own.....my eldest is 37, next is 35 and the babie is 31 and my grandchildren range from 6-19....lol...but they are always a worry to me, in a good way....i thought it got better as they got older....oh how wrong was i....fofl....but i cant step in, i haqve to let them come to me now if there are any probs etc......not that there are many, but they know i am always here......just as yours do.....that's what being a mum is all about......
hope they are both ok. |

I think that is certainly true of most "proper" mothers. not always true of fathers though, my dad is now happy as a pig in wotsit with his new wife in Ireland ( he aged 80 odd ), and doesn't care a bugger about how I'm doing now he's found happiness again.
Ironically though, I still worry about him?...........  |

i am sure he does really, but seeing as how you are grown up, he has no responsibility for you anymore. he has done his job, you have flown the nest, poss even have a family of your own.....now it is his turn to have a life .....
good on him finding love again at his age......whooohooo......  |

I received an email from no.1 daughter last night, she is into her first week travelling solo across New Zealand. It sounds as though she is having a fantastic time, meeting lots of great people and she says she has fallen in love with the country and plans to go back next year to work.
In the meantime she had a riding test yesterday to work for a few weeks as a horsetrekking leader.
I was so concerned about her having to continue her travels alone and am so thrilled now that she is enjoying herself so much.
So The Worry is now temporarily put on hold!  |
