Parenthood

A tip of the hat to all the parents out there.  Although it sometimes makes me feel a bit sad, I don't have any regrets about not being a parent, and probably never being a parent - it's not something I could do well.  I don't have the patience, demeanor or mindset to make a good job of it.  I've accepted that, and I'm fine with it.  Life can take some strange twists and turns, so who knows what's in my future - so I guess you should always expect the unexpected.  But parenthood is one of life's great responsibilities that I'd rather not have - and I salute those of you (with a touch of envy thrown in) that are able to succeed at being good parents.
