And I told them to never have sex with anyone whom they didn't consider a great parent for their possible children ( I allowed that I would be fine if they were not hetero, but if they had hetero sex, a baby was always a distinct possibility )
( Mother boast time: My oldest just passed the bar exam. At Thankgiving, I teased him about how he's so smart he must have made 100%
He's real self-effacing so he rarely lauds himself, but he smiled and admitted that his Constitutional Law essay was flagged as an example of a perfect essay. Rare for him to brag so I was thrilled! )
You are a tireless warrior. I lurk ( on dialup still so I don't always have the speed to join in ) and I applaud your many posts and 99% of the time I agree with you. You are a great mom and your sons will be an asset to this nasty old world just as you are an asset to this community of the DU
