I respect my parents more every day
Welcome back!
We were lecturing talking to the kids about how, as you get older you realize that something you didn’t think twice about as a kid looks more like a major ordeal when you’re older.
The best example I could thin of was when my parents sold the house in Massachusetts and moved to Oklahoma. When I was eight years old, the biggest thing about cross country moving was that we were stick in the car for three days and slept at what seemed like every Howard Johnson’s in the Midwest.
Now that I’m an adult, there were a lot of frightening things about that trip… like being in a car full of five kids for three days, carrying everything you own in the world in the car that you were towing behind the car full of kids, and scariest of all, arriving in a new state with no job and no home - only the permission to stay with a family friend for a few days.
It’s a wonder my dad didn’t develop an ulcer by the age of 40.

Hi Thriell, IYou have a good point that when we are child we are just careless for everything and just see the world from fun point of view. But as we get older we are just unable to behave like that.
