Kids (You have to love'em)

I listen to my younger friends that have kids much younger than my own. My daughter is 28 and my son is 24. I have to say I love my children and wouldn't trade them for the world. On most days. Most of my younger friends have kids in the age group of 12-18yrs. They talk about all the issues that my ex-wife and I dealt with more than 10yrs ago. Nothing seems to change all the same issues come up and for the most part most of the same solutions are used to solve them. The friends of mine that have kids in the same age group as my own talk about how we are all going through the same things with little details being the only difference. I would like to think that after whatever amount of time humans have roamed the planet, us parents would have come up with some sure fired solutions to these problems but so far no luck.

My daughter is having issues with her job and her boss. Nothing so terrible as sexual harassment or anything like that. He is a doctor and he is a doctor that doesn't understand all the issues of running a office all he wants to do is see patients and see the money coming in. My daughters job involves the billing part, you know the part that has to deal with insurance companies and people that haven't paid their share of the bill. Well he is giving her a hard time and she is having second thoughts about working for him. I only wish that when I was 28 that I had the option of telling my boss to shove it. Am fairly sure though the military would have had serious issues with that. My daughter has a 7yr old daughter and she lives with my parents she says that she wants to get out on her own but she hasn't proved anything to me. My parents don't help the issue cause they don't want their Great-Granddaughter to move out.

My son who is married to a sweet, very lovely WORKAHOLIC. Now most people would say that is great a 23yr old woman that is working hard a Hard Charger. Think about that, just think about that for a moment. She is going to school for her Masters, she is working 12hours a day and oh by the way gets paid a huge 8.50 an hour and you say 12 hours aday that is alot of over time, uh no. Now all you Union lovers out there get this she donates 4 hours aday without pay. I know Jimmy Hoffa has rolled over in whatever grave the Mob put him in, plus she donates alot of time to acouple of different charities there in Terra Haute. When she comes home she expects the house to be clean and picked up and dinner on the table. My son, the same boy that I couldn't get him to pick dirty socks for 3 weeks till they walked into the laundry room by themselves. Now mined you I would love my son to work alittle harder than say a mushroom (his current pace) I guess that isn't fair, when he does work he works hard... The issue is he works on a golf course and if it is possible he may play as much as he works. Now before you ask where can you sign up. He only gets paid 8.00 an hour. My point is how can you have a wife, a decent car and a decent home, mind you I didn't say nice car or nice home on 8.00 an hour plus her 8.50 an hour. I guess if you are happy with what you have, that is great.
I will say it again I love my kids. I feel so blessed that they are healthy they aren't living with me (Love ya Mom, Dad) they aren't in prison and they don't asked for money too often. I Would do just about anything I could for them. Come to think of it I have just about done anything already.
