AJ. Your doing just fine, each phase of our children's life is a learning curve for them and us but we wouldn't want it any other way.
+1, Gunny; HRZ you're doing a fantastic job as a Dad, incredible since RadioHowie and Papa Chuy don't think you can walk and chew gum at the same time!

I'm enjoying reading this thread.

My kids are 23 and 18 - truly good people and their mother and I are proud beyond words.

'Zilla - spend the money and don't think twice about it again. You'll be glad you did. I can only echo Auburn's sediments. Before you realize it, they are grown and on to their own lives. The view from a spectator's perspective is far different than the view from a co-player.

 
+1 ^^^^ Raised my son on my own and as it seemed to seem like forever, the time has come and past, and he's out of the house.

We had some fantastic times where I certainly didn't have enough money to spend, but I certainly did to enjoy the time we had together....

He moved out of state for school and is pretty much living his life on his own, with not much chance in the future for him to move back to the arctic WI weather now that he resides in TX....

Enjoy it while it lasts....

 
That is kinda sad. My friendship and partnership with Dear Old Dad was so important to me that I decided very early in the game I could not move very far away from home. I cannot say that everything I did was the right move and I know I disappointed him many times over the years. But, I was close enough to home that he could fuss at me in person. I only live about 20 minutes from Mom and Dad. I live where I do because Mrs. Redfish told me that was where I wanted to live.

 
Yes - I'm very close to my father, in fact I'm lucky enough to see him every day. We work together and he's getting up there in the years. He'll be 78 this year and I dread the day I have to say goodbye. Man has been an incredible inspiration to me.....

My son isn't out of the picture - I still see him a few times a year, but he def needs his space and time to become his own person....
