The Daddy Complex

I have two kids, 4 and 8, by this point in our lives I expected everything to kind of mellow out and all of us co-exist as a family instead of 100% child-care. At what point do you think you'll reach that place?

When you reach sweet, merciful death.

I made a joke to my dad once about how I’ll finally get to return to my worry-free lifestyle when the boys turn 18. He looked at me and calmly said, “It never ends.”

And for the record, both my sister and I are closer to middle age than college age so, if he’s still worrying about us, that’s saying something. Although, to be fair, both of us are incredibly immature.
