[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't find it traumatizing, maybe annoying. But my oldest has now moved away to college, and I miss those days. Looking back, those years did go by really fast. Like they say, [b]"The days are long, but the years are short." (Sorry, I know that's another cliche).[/b] [/quote] I literally clicked onto this thread to hate on this little proverb. It's a pet peeve of mine. When you boil it down, it's basically saying "Parenting is a grind now so yep, you're miserable and it's going to feel never ending. But you can look forward to STILL looking back with regret that it's over and your kid is gone!"[/quote] Np I don't read it that way at all. Yes, the days are long but, that doesn't mean it is always dire. And the years are short meaning childhood is short. But, if you put in the time for a relationship than that lasts much longer![/quote]
