One of my daily duties is coming to an end. My son is nearing the conclusion of his school days, and so his sandwiches will soon be his own concern. Whilst I might appreciate regaining the time that this takes, I'll miss the thought processes of trying to mix his diet and trying to please him with healthy options. The feedback has been a great boost too.
As I wonder what he'll eat for lunch for the rest of his life, I'm struck by the sheer volume of tasks my wife does for him. How many times melancholy will she feel?
Don't worry Steve.... the relationship changes, but it still stays the same (didn't a Frenchman say something similar?)
ReplyDeleteMyself and Pip have been through this process twice..... the tasks only get more 'problematic' and expensive!
