[quote=Anonymous]PP - I forgot dear old dad! Dear old Dad doesn't really like children. He didn't "connect" with me until after my divorce (first wife). I was in my late 30s. My little sister got divorced that same summer, and she reported the same thing: suddenly dad thought we might understand him (not judge him?) and opened up to us. We also weren't small children anymore...which he never liked and still doesn't. That's OK too. We have a pretty good relationship and he will enjoy spending a couple of hours a month (on average mind you) with the under-ten crowd...and perhaps if everyone lives long enough, he'll get to know them more in depth when they are more interesting to him. The moral of the story with dear old dad was: don't expect from people what they aren't capable of giving/doing...accept them as they are, and you won't be badly disappointed. [/quote]
