Joy – I know that there is so much to worry about when raising kids but I think that we also need to claim the joy that comes from knowing these people in a way that no one else will never have the privelege of doing. Count you blessings your child will only ever have you as their Dad that makes you unique. Enjoy it.
Kindy – As much as I love my kids Kindy is a sanity stop. You drop them off and someone else looks after them for a day. In an era where there is so much pressure on the nuclear family and where families are so distant the and extended family is not always available to care for the kids. If they are able to help you out then you are fortunate, for the rest of us there is kindy.
