But from something she said I believe they're singing it in Spanish, anyway. Though I'm sure it will still be WAY better than any other version!Susan Adrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10730673696950405605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23749528.post-80578774842672383822006-11-29T09:33:00.000-07:002006-11-29T09:33:00.000-07:00Cindy:

Good, I guess, in that we don't really need to be solipsistic. It's nice to care about someone more than ourselves. Hopefully somebody cares about us that way too...Susan Adrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10730673696950405605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23749528.post-21474699910035625342006-11-28T17:29:00.000-07:002006-11-28T17:29:00.000-07:00Psst!

I was astounded. Websters, granted, from junior high school, but still.<br /><br />It's almost chilling, isn't it, the non-people we are to our kids. Normal, and likely important in some long-ago survival kind of way, but a little creepy. Little Boy is still mad at me because he wasn't invited to our wedding...(G)<br /><br />I don't know if I'll ever be able to focus on myself the way I used to, but I do appreciate an hour here and there to give it the old college try...Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16442184872395803612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23749528.post-64021125617878595362006-11-28T09:37:00.000-07:002006-11-28T09:37:00.000-07:00Much to my dismay, it doesn't seem to be shifting ...Much to my dismay, it doesn't seem to be shifting back. At all. And mine are 17 and 20, and big, strapping men, pretty much.<br /><br />And still I am consumed by worry for them. Different issues, of course, less to do with physical safety and a lot to do with emotional well-being, finding one's niche in the world, that kind of thing.<br /><br />I'm wondering if it will shift when they marry and form their own, new families. Not that I'm particularly eager to reach that milestone yet!Wigged Outhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09359652793625486237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23749528.post-83474811934405928632006-11-28T09:17:00.000-07:002006-11-28T09:17:00.000-07:00I don't know first-hand, of course, but from talki...I don't know first-hand, of course, but from talking with my own mum and other parents of grown children, I'd say it never really changes back. It becomes less immediate, I'm sure, because grown kids aren't there reinforcing it all the time, but I've often heard parents say "It doesn't matter how old your kids are..." and then go on to describe worrying about them or thinking of them first or whatever.<br /><br />KathyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
