Sure and it won't be long until we hear more truth about those "all-so-awesome" baby boomers. About the only thing they did was invent and destroy disco.

I find this hard to believe. I have a lot of friends who have children and talk about how they don't have the time to spend with there kids like their mother did with them.
I'm very grateful for the time my Mom spent with my brorher and I.

My parents spent very little time with me but somehow I turned out okay I think. I know I (the father) spent more time with my kids than my parents did combined. I know my wife spent even more time with them. But that was a few years ago. Now the children are adults. One of them has children and spends lots of quality time with her children. But I don't believe this story. I believe we are the exceptions.
