Haha true – the kids grow up and leave – books never do!

I agree with everything you say! I’d even say that as time goes by, there’s more time, love and attention poured on books than children. Now that mine have grown up and left home my books are still with me!

Hi Sacha. I’ve had to laugh a few times while reading this, and have a few comments on it. Two – a two-year-old does have a mind of his/her own. At this age they learn so rapidly and like to try out everything they have learned. This gives them a new freedom – the freedom to choose what they eat, what they want or don’t want to do. They have a new power.
Three – You drive your son to insanity when YOU don’t understand what he is trying to say.
Six -yep they do. Besides the necessities, there are all the toys, gadgets, and the like that you just know he would love to have, and it is so much fun to indulge him.
Eight – Naughty? Maybe, or maybe he was acting out his frustrations on the other child. Perhaps the other child took a toy from him, bumped into him, or laughed at him.
Nine – Yes, they do need a lot of attention, and they thrive when they know they are the object of your love.
Ten – I wish you a lifetime of celebrations.

I’m not a parent but, being a dog owner, I can relate to most of these 🙂

Ah… well one “child” is all I could handle for the time being… At least I can pretend to disregard my WIP when life gets too busy! 😀

Reblogged this on sherriemiranda1 and commented: I am not a parent, but this post tells exactly why. If I had been a parent, I wouldn't have had the time or energy to write and publish my FIRST novel, let alone the next two or three I have on the back burner. Congrats to all you parents that managed to bring up a child (or two) and write a book (or two)! You deserve lots of accolades! ;-) <3 Peace, love & lots of time for writing to all, Sherrie
