Better all the time
Eight years and four months into parenting, a night reading X-Men with Ashley and Watership Down with Allison confirms to me the trend has been upward all along.
Someone once told me that raising children would have good times and some rough times, but that the overall trend was always upward in his experience. After 8 years and 4 months I am in full agreement with him.
And it’s nothing huge that makes me say that. I suspect it would probably qualify as boring or at least plain evening for lots of folks. But I sat and read some X-Men comics with Ashley and then sat and read a chapter of Watership Down with Allison before they went to bed. And this is the type of stuff I couldn’t wait to do when they were born. Share my interests, discuss the various characters ask and answer questions.
It was a great night.
