By the by - For those of you here who blame the ills of the world on the boomers; please, do yourselves a favor! Save this entire thread - put it away for 30 years or so and, when your kids and your grandkids start blaming you and your generation for everything that is wrong in THEIR world, pull this tattered, yellowed thread out and re-read the things you wrote.

My children will never be able to say that I did not give them a loving, stable, two-parent home, with the original parents who actually made the children. They will never be able to say that I didn't take them to church, teach them morals, show them love, put them first.

My children will never be able to say that I was on drugs, shacking up or what-have-you and neglected them in anyway. Just having a stable homelife will put my children two steps ahead of most other children.
