(being the thinking girl that i am) I'm holding your luggage hostage so lol - be careful what you say until then!!! love, yes much love from one gigantically nosed angelica (who has yet to discover even more of the wonderful world through your rose coloured Lisboa glasses, knowing you will, no doubt shatter more of my rather delicate wine glasses in the process!!!) xoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9275564726873174.post-53914513352534847122009-12-01T16:44:33.403-08:002009-12-01T16:44:33.403-08:00Well, I have always fully expected you to be diffe...Well, I have always fully expected you to be different from everyone else; and I have known several other people for whom the arrival of children did not spell the end of their lives (either financially or intellectually); but i find, however, that you folks are rare exceptions. <br /><br />As for teaching children -- well, I did a bit of it in one of my earlier incarnations when I tutored in Taiwan; it is a noble and rewarding work; personally, however, I am still more interested in learning than in teaching. I'd be happy to hire a tutor for myself. :)Sir Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07953581535133000686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9275564726873174.post-45414611029310914742009-12-01T07:30:23.367-08:002009-12-01T07:30:23.367-08:00You might be surprised to find me agreeing with yo...You might be surprised to find me agreeing with you for the most part, especially since not only have I reproduced, but I've taken on a child who is not biologically mine!<br /><br />It is difficult, however, and I would agree with you that, at least for the first few years of the child's life, one is consumed mainly with simply keeping the child alive.<br /><br />That being said, as they grow, one of the wonderful things is that part of their rearing is you talking to them and teaching them about the very things you had to give up.<br /><br />And perhaps I'm a bad example, but since my son was born, I've been more involved and active intellectually than ever before.<br /><br />I think the problem is that people use children as an excuse to become intellectually lazy instead of an opportunity to further develop their own tastes in addition to instructing their children.Andrew W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00071098030747838202noreply@blogger.com
