As I get older, the prospect of family and children grow closer and closer. I am absolutely terrified of being responsible for the physical as well as mental well being of a child in this huge, and wonderful world in which we live. I know that a few of our members here at ASep have children, and what seems a wonderful relationship with them (sp00k's excitement about his daughter's 18th bday, G_man's got his daughter too, Noodles made a comment about what his daughter named the vicious rabbit that chased the humongous snake away was quite sweet as well, and Rhiannon's "princes") I sometimes find myself wondering what is the secret to having such a great relationship with these children that is able to bridge a generation gap, that so many teenagers seem to make look HUGE. Any tips, or special stories concerning this issue is why I've created this thread. I'm always trying to learn more about this so I may be better prepared for a lifetime of happiness with my children whenever he, she or they may arrive.

I have a beautiful relationship with my mother, who has been dealt a difficult hand with us. My father was an alcoholic for my first 10 years on earth before he sobered up, and was unfortunately killed by a drunk driver. She started dating a wonderful man, who had a daughter of his own, who only seemed to appear when it was time for a big purchase (braces as a teen, senior pictures, and then a car at graduation) but unfortunately he too died (this time it was skin cancer) but not before having to see my brother, who he raised as his own son, was killed in a car accident in which he had been drinking and driving (my brother that is, not the stepfather) but my mother has never lost sight of the fact that I still need her as much as I had when I was a child (though not quite as often) Family is so incredibly important to me, and most of you seem to have very happy and prosperous ones. Thank you in advance for your stories, I very much look forward to the funny ones, the sad ones, and the ones in which your patience may have been at its limits.
