RE: Learning Technology Successes

I certainly have my moments, as all parents do. I saw a really touching and powerful meme a few years ago that struck a chord with me. "When I was growing up, I didn't realize it but I was watching my parents grow up too." That hit me! It's so true, we have kids and we are, if we are a good person, instantly thrust into the most important thing we are on the planet for. We are growing up right along side the little ones! Parenthood is no joke and changes you so much, in mostly good ways.

Jobs come and go but being a parent is the only thing that matters. It's so important that we try our best and know that we will mess up but it's how we course correct that is the really important part.

You'll be a great dad one day man! I think you're doing the right stuff just try not to wait too long to have kids. It's the most wonderful thing to experience. It's stressful as hell but it's also so invigorating. Becoming a parent at a good age is a big help - not too young but not too old. Before 30 is a good age for a man for the first one so you have plenty of energy left. It's not impossible at later years but it's not as easy.

Home schooling isn’t easy but once you get the basics like reading, writing and math then the other parts are a little easier. We had big challenges with those building blocks but we are on a much better path now because of the monumental efforts my wife has made to get things straightened out.
