Re: Don't feel like I expected to.
That's interesting, JB.<br /><br />I recently turned 58, and along with a few health problems, all in all not too much to complain about. Generally I don't think I've changed much mentally, but the mind sometimes writes checks the old body can't cash any more.<br /><br />And I don't know about the world getting more vulgar. Many houses around me are rented by college kids, and they make much better neighbors than some of the old judgemental fuddy-duddy types, and they have been for the most part really good kids.<br /><br />And maybe I had a rougher childhood than most, but I think we've made significant progress over all as a society--its not been even progress, perhaps, but progress none the less.<br /><br />And time does fly by. My oldest daughter just turned 29--it doesn't seem like hardly any time has passed since I last changed her diaper.<br /><br />But my two girls both have university degrees, and as far as a measure of worth of parenting, that's not too bad in my book. I can honestly say I did as good as I could with them, and you can't say too much more than that.
