Kids Driving

dlhnola @dlhnola (70) • United States 16 May 07

My daughter just got her permit and I am afraid! I hate the idea of her driving. Is anyone else worried about this? I feel like so much could happen! I know she has to grow up but I wish it wasn't happening so quickly....

dlhnola Luckily she can't drive alone until she gets her license so I will have plenty of time to observe her driving, as I bite my nails and hang on to the seat...

Time alone

dlhnola @dlhnola (70) • United States 4 Mar 07

I need what may be considered and inordinate amount of time alone to feel "normal". With my children, grandchild, and my job, I spend an enormous amount of energy doing for others. If I don't have time alone, I get very cranky and...

pyewacket @pyewacket (43903) • United States 13 May 07

I have always loved the fall season...I love the crispness that is in the air, the coolness after a hot summer, and I just love the spectacular array of blazen color of the fall leaves. I can't help wondering if my love for this...

Almost True!

ErrollLeVant @ErrollLeVant (4353) • United States 23 Mar 09

I read a quote a day or two ago by Henry Ward Beecher. It begins "Whatever is almost true..." I will post the end of the quote soon, but first I wondered how you would finish the statement. How about it, what is your take?

Parenting adult children

dlhnola @dlhnola (70) • United States 3 Mar 07

Do you give unsolicited advice to your "grown- up" children or bite your tongue? What about when they ask for it? Are you honest, or do you let them figure things out for themselves?
