Having the ability to observe the things around us, which is heightened by having a kid who is fascinated and enjoys the small things in life, really brings things back into perspective for me.
I love this. Kids are brilliant at living in the here and now, with no harsh life lessons (hopefully) to make them cynical like us adults..
Yeah dude my wife and I protect our son in so many ways from the evil shit around us. Not in a fragile and foolish way but in ways where we preserve his innocence as a child growing up and learning the world. We keep him away from shitty people that are angry or just bad people until he's older and has more life experience. I think this is really important to do if we are able to!
Fantastic dude. Sounds like ye are brilliant parents doing as much as you can for your little man until he has the smarts to look after himself.
The teenage years will be hard for all us parents when our kids want nothing to do with us embarrassing parents!!
