Balance

You've had to handle a lot of the not-good-things in my life as of late. So has the boy, as I do everything in my power to make him ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.

I don't really want him that way. We have such different tastes in literature, art, humor, movies, music...everything that matters. (?)

Tonight, we had a chat before he had to get involved in his passion, but during that conversation, it reminded me of the things we have in common:

- General common courtesy

- Parenting plans (although I'm a bit tougher on rules than him)

- Need to be alone to regroup

- Ability to find humor in odd situations

- Endless need for attention

- Want for essential fairness, even for people we don't like

- Narcissism

I think that's enough, don't you?
