We had a similar conversation this past Christmas over dinner. Friends, we've gone through the stages of child rearing and moving and and such, with some married, some with children, some nearby, others very far away. What a discussion ensued when one complained that her son was going to his girlfriend's house for Christmas. It sounded much like the one you quote here. <br /><br />I will put this on my list and know it will be a good read. Thank you.
