    • Hug

      From Singledad40 Sunday

      I appreciate that Janice :) Y'know, for all my faults and issues, I think I did a pretty good job with my son. He's confident, assertive, happy, stands up for himself and has a lot of friends - qualities I lacked at his age. I've walked a tough road and passed the lessons I learned on to my son, and I'd do it again 1000 times.
