Aging and Parenthood

It's true, you can tell when you are getting older when you start remembering the past with a slightly rosy glow . I was at home today and watching a great movie on the nature of the past - Grosse Point Blank and feeling all sad and disappointed as a result of being sick. Then I got to thinking the past is like another country(surprisingly), it's a place you wish (sometimes) you could visit but in truth you would not want to live there. I wish I could have gone back and done things differently and I wish more often than not that I was a what I dreamed of being, but once again I am not really living in the belief that you can do that. Probably what saves me from the insanity that lurks in the corner of our minds.

Well enough of that - Everyone has been sick in the house requiring me to do nanny duty for everyone else for the weekend - which is a bummer and i think tests your assumptions, speaking about this from the patriarchal mind set here of course, about how much patience you really need to be a parent especially a single one. It's a massive load and explains one of the reasons why the stats regarding success rates for single parents are so poor compared to couples.
