		<description>What a delicious moment.  And how amazing that he was able to repeat to you a message he has obviously internalized from years of great parenting.  Kudos!

		<description>Naptime, that&#039;s exactly my dilemma: I want them to understand I am my own person yet I&#039;m worried my &quot;selfishness&quot; may cause them to think I don&#039;t love them enough due to the messages they receive elsewhere in the mass media. 

Vapid, that&#039;s partly what made me cry. Have no idea. Hi. I am 40 years old and I am going through not mid-life crisis but teenage angst.</description>

		<description>If you ever figure out what you want to be when you grow up could you let me in on it because all I can think about is how there has got to be more than what I am doing and how the hell can I get out of what I am doing!

		<description>So awesome. And a *fabulous* reminder that it&#039;s important for them to see us making choices that feed us, too, and not just them because that&#039;s what they need to know we value. Ourselves. Them. All of it, but not to the exclusion of our happiness.

		<description>SAW, Stephanie, Amanda, Shelli, Diane, thank you for the kind words. They do surprise you. And as SAW and others have mentioned, it&#039;s moments like this that makes it worthwhile. That answers the lament, &quot;WHY DID I HAVE CHILDREN? WHY?!&quot; 

Amanda, LOL. Sure. Don&#039;t you have two? Can&#039;t he not choose? LOL. I hope that your girls learn to cook like their mom. ;-)  And seriously, I&#039;ll probably force myself to behave better if my son&#039;s MIL is one of my friends... But then I worry whether this falls into the same category as &quot;Never never loan money to your friends.&quot;</description>
