Our meals together and the time that I spend reading to him and singing him to sleep are times that I cannot imagine not having... I just can't... I choose not to think of the day when he does not want it any more.
That someone would intentionally give that up for any reason is inconceivable to me. I use that word literally.

Sometimes I cannot due to pain (meaning I physically cannot... I often participate when I should not), meds, being in the hospital. When the time comes and I miss dinner with my wife and son and bedtime it feels like trauma to me.
I can't do so much with him that others can do, so these things are more important to me.
Also, as for discipline, I cannot chase him down and would not be able to physically intimidate him if I wanted to, even though I would never want to.
I have never felt the need or at a loss for not using these "tools".
