That's how I got to Vegas....my wife knew I was itchin' for a weekend away. You can always see it a different way (a few of my friends were in a awe that I could get away with going) but time alone is only humanPokahDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10027330069984105732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17782569.post-86114605607367546572008-01-29T14:48:00.000-07:002008-01-29T14:48:00.000-07:00AFter we got married, and just before we started t...AFter we got married, and just before we started thinking of having children, A business partner of mine, an older gentleman of 10 years on me, had stated that I was too selfish to have kids, and that I would only be doing it for the wife.<BR/><BR/>He was right in more ways than even he could have imaginged. We now have 4 children, and although I need and take my own time, they are whats most important. I blame them for a lot, which is, well selfish, but I too am getting better.<BR/><BR/>Whats more, I don't blame or expect the wife anymore to pick up the slack when I want to take a hop to vegas, or North Dakota, or wherever I like to go.<BR/><BR/>The reality is that children are amazing. Not just mine, but all...<BR/><BR/>And because of that, I easilt change my mind on plans that I might have had in order to spend time with them...Riggstadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09724818580402350984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17782569.post-18344258962789160162008-01-28T19:35:00.000-07:002008-01-28T19:35:00.000-07:00I agree with kris.I've let my kids and myself down...I agree with kris.<BR/><BR/>I've let my kids and myself down in the past because I didn't understand how to juggle everything at once. I'm still learning, but I'm much better now than I used to be. Realizing you are the world to them through these early years helps.<BR/><BR/>Good luck to you and the fam. Take your time because it is yours, but cherish the rest of the time...TripJaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02883671728514946477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17782569.post-2779840482279258642008-01-28T07:54:00.000-07:002008-01-28T07:54:00.000-07:00I firmly believe that any parent who says that the...I firmly believe that any parent who says that they don't struggle between needing to take care of the kids and needing to take care of themselves is lying. We all do it... I think the only thing that differs is in how we take care of ourselves and how we fill the gaps.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15789846221498778621noreply@blogger.com
