I had always been content to be an only child, could see the pros and cons way back when and always thought I could find friends who would feel like a bro or sis. not until I had my own son and daughter (mind you, 18 mo apart) over the years have I seen a whole new level of how wonderful being an only can be! Its so funny watching the swing of being insensitive (namely when it comes to others) to being sensitive (namely about self)....Of course try not to take ANY of the silliness personally. I'm learning to adapt to this new kind of metamorphisis called a "young person'.....taxin the ole brain cells to recall my own nimrod days to remember those wild swings in personaility just remember rehab...WE CAN MAKE IT THRU ANYTHING!!! STROKERS ARE TOUGH AS THE HUBBIE SAYS YOU'RE THE ADULT!!! DON'T LET EM' DRIVE YA NUTS!!!!!
