Claudette was right,.. again.

We are not fully formed people ever, let alone when were still young enough to become parents. Expecting a lot of your children is so much better than what we see so much of in the States, parents who expect nothing of their children.

Mothers are always vulnerable to this guilt trip shit, maybe that's why they can be so good doling it out, too.

Just keep in mind, relatives are assigned like parking spaces, but friends are chosen. Choose yours carefully, you don't need the grief.

Good one Bruce. I know lot of people who can use this bit. Think I will get it stamped on my t-shirt.

Ortho: I haven't been here for long enough to know you like other of the cellar dwellers. But I can say regrets are not going to do you any good.
As they say:
Don't start your day with broken pieces of yesterday. Every morning we wake up is the first day of the rest of our life.
