one.

I've raised three sets of children, two each generation beginning

with being the surrogate for my working mother from age 11. I walked

my sisters everywhere they had to go until I became a chauffer at 16.

While raising the grands, I was grousing to my mother about how sick

I was of hauling kids around. One of them needed to be at a school

for kindergarten open house.

I told my mom " I've been doing this since I was eleven! " And she said

to me " She is five years old and she's been doing it since

September. " She was kid #6 for me, but she wasn't part of the process

with the first five like I'd been.

It's all in our perspective, kindergarten or MGB. What is new and

overwhelming to one is old news and obvious manual dogma to the more

one.

Sometimes I just pass to other post-ops when I feel overwhelmed by

the sameness of a question, or think I might not respond with proper

perspective. I type a lot of responses I never post. That's why we

need all the post-ops we can get here, to share the load and be sure

every newbie gets the fair attention the " baby of the family "

deserves.

MHO as always! Tj
