[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 45 now but what I remember most was that my parents would always support me.  This continues to be true today as I'm in the middle of my divorce.  But I've used the "my parents" excuse my times.  The time a guy asked me to dance and I said I had to dance with my dad.  The time I was winning at the craps table and wanted to walk away with my winnings, I saw my dad across the room and said he was calling me.  Mostly it's that I still know my parents are there to support and help me.

Oh and the other lesson that somehow stuck was if you're the kid and you're lost, you stay put and mom will find you.  I was 21 and got separated from my mom at a big hotel.  I sat down and waited as if I was 5.  She found me.  In all the years, the rules never changed.  Consistency is key.[/quote]

I thought this was a sweet post.  Don't know why other people are saying negative things about it.

Also, I once got lost as an adult and my dad came and rescued me.  I was visiting my parents vacation cabin in Big Bear Calif. for the first time.  I decided to go for a walk with my 4 year old.  Once I decided to head back to my parents cabin, I realized they all looked alike. This was in the pre-cell phone days.  Then a sudden storm came up.  I was so happy to see my dad drive up!  If I only I had stayed put . . . . . [/quote]
