I suspect this one would bug me so I'm going to pass -- the issues you raised would totally drive me nuts.

I do think it's harder to maintain that kind of contact and care with your children when they are teenagers, but Rosalie and Abdullah could have done a much better job. This was a very insightful post today, and I enjoyed reading your thoughts very much!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.com
