A reminder to the newer parents

Yesterday afternoon, I was listening to a conversation with some of the younger Marines who work for me. Two of the guys have wives who are expecting. They were both discussing all of the things that they and their children will and won't do. How their kids would never (fill in the blank).

They turned to me and asked my opinion. I just chuckled and told them.
"I too was a better parent before I ever had kids"

As you age it is amazing how your perspectives change. I stated definitively some things my children would never do when they were young. I learned their happiness and health is far more important than any opinion I ever had.

I know you learn to never say never. And a re-neg comes into the vocabulary more often after all those nevers.
