On Being A Full Time Parent

This afternoon, while taking advantage of a break between storms and a waterside “exercise station” I struck up a conversation with a full time Dad. He was relaxing on the inclined situp plane. He wasn’t doing situps – just enjoying a beautiful afternoon while his daughter played.

It reminded me of all the afternoons I’d done something similar while my kids occupied themselves with whatever kids find interesting when they’re two or three years old. We don’t see many full time parents just “hanging” with their kids – but I reckon everyone would be better off if we did!

Reckon you’ll reach the end of your days and wish you’d spent more time at the office?
