what do we do that is so “selfless” for our kids, anyway? cook dinner? hell I was cooking dinner anyway, I just break off a piece. for a few years i gave them a bath and brushed their teeth, but that was fun, not selfless. It’s fun to give a kid a bath. . i gave them a ride to day care, but they couldn’t drive, and before that i used to have trouble getting up in t he morning, so that was more for me than them. i should be waking up earlier.. IN that vein, I wouldn’t have been able to keep a job without them as there would have been no particular point to continuing. So they helped me out with getting up in the morning and maintaining employment. Without them, I would have been drinking alone a lot more. Also, they’re hilarious and exquisitely interesting conversationalists. i cannot think of one lousy sacrifice ive made on their behalf.
