"10. I Would Have Been Alone With Each of My Kids More Often"
I'm a mom, and I have only one kid, but I grew up with two brothers. My parents always made this a priority, and I certainly recommend it. The times I spent alone with each of them are amoung my best memories of growing up. It really satisfies a kid's craving for undivided parental attention.
In fact, as it's father's day, I must esp. remember the many breakfast hours I spent with my dad, when we were the only two awake. I can say he taught me an awful lot about life during those casual conversations.
I'm sure everyone notices the BIG difference in their kid's behavior when they have them one on one. Somtimes it is hard to arrange, but well worth the effort. I just had dinner out with my 15 year old son last night, then we tossed the football around the yard. What a wonderful time!
