[QUOTE="Calman, post: 891588, member: 3341"] As some of y'all know I raised my 2 boys and 2 girls by myself.It was not an easy job for a single man. I had several dissapointments while the we're teens. Both girls married young out of high school to what I thought we're scatterbrain husbands.Won't go through the minor details but will say they and their husbands struggled for a few years.Then thank goodness through the rough road they had they finally figured out they needed to do something different.My oldest daughter is now a RN and her husband has 15 yrs in at ford motor company.The youngest is a physical massage therapist,and her husband is a computer tech for one of the major oil company's. And the boys,the oldest has been in music since high school.Started out as a DJ for a local radio station and now is a music programmer for several stations. Youngest started pretty shakey jumping from job to job but finally setteled down to a factory that makes parts for military planes and helicopters and has been a plant superviser for about 3 years. After they we're out of the house I remarried to a lady who was raising her grandson and helped raise him. He went to the army out of highschool spent 4years,one in afghanistan,then got out got his degree and is now working for homeland security. So to top it all off what I'm trying to say is you can't controll what you want for your kids.All you can do is raise them to the best of your abillity,point them in the right direction and hope for the best cause the rest is up to them. I am a proud father of all 5,but at times I sure was dissapointed in them.But when they left my house on their own I only give advise when asked and never interfered with their life. Maybe this wasent the best way but it seemed to work pretty good for us. And that's my story for what it's worth.I will say I feel that I am blessed with the most wonderfull kids and grandkids in the world.Life is good. Cal [/QUOTE]
