It is humbling that as my children are growing older they still call me several times a day. They share neat events that are happening or people they are running in to. They also share "issues". I don't think this is to ask for my advise but to use me as a secure sounding board...a place to verbalize out loud and vent. I don't judge them. I love to listen and shy away from offering my opinion when asked. I will give it on important items but the day to day crap they can figure out themselves. I just think it is kind of cool that they feel comfortable enough to call me as if they were calling one of their friends. I wonder what they would do if I switched roles and called them from some bar at 2:30 thinking I was calling someone else. hahahahaha (No not you Ang - your sister Annmarie).
What is really neat is that I have their friends doing the same thing! Maybe that's why they all call me DaaMom?
