If you're lucky you will live to be in your 80's. If you are lucky your children will live with you until about 20 years old. Think about it...20 years out of 80, just 1/4th of your life, that you get to see them everyday. So the next time you feel like you never get time to yourself just remember that for 3/4ths of your life you have all the free time you want. Don't waste the precious little time you get to spend with your children.
