Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 We're so glad to have you with us. That's a really great idea for your kids. Saves them from wondering or worrying, and lets you all get on with the day's activites. I am 44, married, with 2 teenage daughters. They are wrapped up in their own lives, of course, but they do notice when I'm feeling especially bad. And they'll wait on me, bringing food up to my room, or refilling my water bottle. So I am fortunate in that. Hope being a part of this FaMily brings you lots of caring and support. Take care.
