... but she has a nice way of dealing with it on those really bad days.

Just so long as there are not too many bad days.

My kids are grown, graduated from college, and out living well on their own. They are great people.

I'm trying to recall what aged me the most... something about their teenage years, I'm certain. Not coming home as expected, cars, a few after-midnight calls from the police, high drama relationships and break-ups...

It could have been worse. They could have been like me. The nice thing about being a parent is that you can steer your kids away from the sorts of trouble you got into when you were young.
