You are no longer the . .

… the young and carefree person you were, once you become parents

Do you agree with this statement?

Re: You are no longer the . .

my huby says this to me , I think I am still :cb:

Re: You are no longer the . .

yup…I think so…though I try to be..there is this tiny little voice in the crib that demands my attention :cb:

Re: You are no longer the . .

Is it a good thing to be carefree when you’re a parent? :hmmm: You care because you’re responsible parents.

Re: You are no longer the . .

^ of course it is. You provide care for free.

Re: You are no longer the . .

THIS! That is why you can be “carefree” prior to becoming a parent. Because at that time you are not responsible for raising a human being. After becoming a parent you are, so you SHOULD care.

You have to get responsible to take care of responsibilities.

if your spouse is ok with being a slave, you can still be carefree and old. _

I’ll come back to this thread in a couple of years :smiley:

But looking at my mum and her telling me stories about the past, I know things change a lot.

Re: You are no longer the . .

You can choose to be young even after marriage. :smiley:

Carefree is another separate matter.

One should not be carefree even if ‘young’…as much and possible.
