As a parent, I want my children to have happy, fulfilled lives. And, I want them to get their shit together.
Fall 2012
I want Spencer to further his training and education, get his finances and cell phone in order, meet and fall in love with a stable person his own age, get a decent place to live, get rid of the GT, and get all of the auto crap out of the garage. Improve his general health, too.
I want Chloe to finish up with summer school without losing her mind, act reasonably regarding living at home for the summer, acquire her own cell and auto insurance accounts, find a decent and safe place to live, get established in her job before she plunges into pet ownership, and meet new people.
I want Dylan to get more hours at a better job this summer, do some volunteer work in advance of applying to the program he is interested in, clean his room out, not spend so much time with the girlfriend or on the computer, start contributing to his insurance and phone bill, focus on education, take care of his teeth, and take care of the Escape.
I want Grayson to read more books, practice his horn, get his room in order, have fun and work on rank advancement at summer camp, not spend so much time on the computer, be in charge of his own laundry start to finish, get to bed at a reasonable time, and do his chores.
They're nifty people. I love them lots. They are learning to navigate the world in. There are no maps, and it can be a treacherous journey. But they are lucky they have parents who can guide and advise them.
