I need to be held!!!

[JackiMac]

I think we should all hold hands and meditate!

[JackiMac]

but seriously I had a child when I was 38 and I am sooooo tired now!! I should be retired and living the life of Riley, travelling the world, but dang it I wouldn't change my wee man for the world, Adam my eldest 23 this year, moving on with his life, Christopher 10 entering the adolescence of life argggh, definitely need to hold hands and meditate xx

[Nancy]

Awww, Chrispy, you're not old!!  A sports car is way more fun at first and less expensive in the long run than a child!

My charming son starts high school this year too, just turned 15 this past weekend  :wacko:   I'm a couple years younger than some of you  :P  I'll be 39 sometime this year.  

[MarylandQuitter]

I'm 42 and my daughter will be starting Kindergarten this month.  On one hand I'm happy but on the other hand, not so much.  It's the first step for her into this big old world and all of the unknowns that go along with it.  I've already put in leave for that day and I hope that I can choke back the tears when I bring her to school.  This is a very big deal for me as I had always wanted a child of my own and finally was blessed with this most precious child when I was in my late 30's.

 

She had this graduation from her daycare on base in June and they played this video of the kids, showed pics etc. and I was a mess.  When I thought I was over it, I would look at her sitting in her little chair with her cap and gown and I would lose it again.  A 42 year old man crying for the better part of 90 minutes at a daycare graduation.  WTF have I turned into? :cray:

 

You should feel young! lol

[Pippa]

Damn it - I was feeling good til I read this thread ! If 40 is old then at 49 I am positively ancient! Now I need a drink and it isn't even 10 am here !

 

Does anyone know the words to Kumbuya ??

[queen greenlover]

Well you're baby isn't moving out & who knows maybe down the road your kid will come home again. Right now I'm 59 & my son is 33 & is back home helping me to keep a roof over my head. :rolleyes:  :rolleyes: But yeah I understand the pain you're in.

chrispy...i feel ya...

 

and to make you more anxious....these 4 years will fly! 

I was so brave when my other 2 grew up and moved out...but my youngest?? that' was tough

 

less than 2 months ago I watched him walk down the aisle to get his diploma...and now i"m looking at pics on facebook trying to pick my kid out of a group of 100 soldiers in training while he attends boot camp

 

 

this house is way too quiet

 

There are perks...privacy..nobody using my car, food bill, electric bill, car insurance, haha......and I'm getting used to the quiet.  I look at it as a new chapter in my life.  Different....yes...but doesn't mean it's a bad thing.  An adventure.  What will happen next??  who knows :)  excited to find out

[ChRiSpY]

Thanks guys.. some of you made me feel better.. some of you suck :P

 

MQ ...I feel you my friend.  I am not a cryer... but I have cried at his elementary graduation and his middle school graduation.  And now this week I have been fighting it back when I think about him going to high school (insert danglerless comment here from bakon).  I think he knows it though...he has been stuck to me like glue this week.

 

Anyhows... maybe you are right Babs...I nned to think of the positives... the good stuff.

[Doreensfree]

Hey Chrispy,

Nothing wrong with a guy having a soft side....I like that......

You don't have to be tough all the time.....

My best xx

[sherry]

I am proud... but also selfish... I want more of him and he wants less of me.  Just part of life I guess.

[bakon]

I feel boobies sprouting on some of you sticks

I love moms.even if I don't know their kids

[Still winning]

Aw leave the man alone..

 

I'm with doreen, nice to have a soft side even if you're a guy...

 

as long as you still fix stuff and carry heavy stuff tho right...

[bakon]

Sound like a true man trainer. Got the whip or do you use the sex as a weapon/reward method?

[Devil Doll]

Did someone say whips?

[bakon]

I require both methods for best results

[bakon]

Hopefully by side tracking this I can save a man from posting anything else

[ChRiSpY]

I feel like wrapping myself up in a blanket today... eating bon bons and watching Beaches.

 

Just jokin... and Bakon... I eat people like you for breakfast :o Folks who try to act too manly are usually the ones that are the biggest p*ssies.  Just like the dudes that always talk about having the biggest willies... usually look like scared turtles... ya hurd?

 

Marti...I tell the familly that I have been reduced to 4 functions in life...

 

1.  I carry stuff

2.  I wait (wait on kids ...wait on wife)... I wait alot

3.  I fix the broken shit

4.  I drive... I drive everyone everywhere.

 

Keep on keepin on.

Gutted I do most of that list too. I'm like a one woman friggin donkey, carting everything around for all of em. I wait around for when the next one needs me too. And some days I feel like I ought to just move into the car! I don't fix broken shit, the kids know to leave it in the path of my Chris when he comes here.

[bakon]

I am more of a pack a lunch guy. Too big for breakfast and usually don't compare to the tough guys too much.

 

How big does a dangler got be for breakfast?

[Still winning]

Is it ya birthday??  Otherwise no eating for breakfast haha.
