New(grand)Parent
Ah... the joys of parenthood! Nope, I'm not a new father, but I got a taste of what it would have been like to have a son. 4 days and nights w/ a 4-yr-old has given me some insights as to the seemingly innate differences between male and female chirrins. Having assisted in raising a daughter, I try to think back and remember if I was this worn out week in and week out, working full time and doing fatherly duty after work. Hmmm.. .nope!
Seems that 24/7 w/ Sir Destructo takes MUCH more stamina than 'metro, boulot, bavardella, dodo"! (Not to take anything away from the joys of lariss ). Actually, it was a joyful fatigue at the end of each day. And doing 'boy stuff' is kind of nostalgic. I even managed to "let" him get a bloody nose and a black eye all w/in a few hrs.! Go, me! (Believe me, my laxity has been appropriately acknowledged)
Anyway, I have incentive to stay in decent shape so he won't totally out-do me by the age of 6. And 'bon courage' to the parents!
