[QUOTE="DocWatson, post: 353281, member: 112"] First, congratulations !!! You are about to begin a magical period of your life. 8) If you approach it with an open mind and go with the flow it will go a lot smoother. Patience, respect and time spent with them are the best tools you have. Be a teacher and a friend, but never forget that you can't be their best friend. The age difference precludes that. I'm 65, was a full time, stay at home father for 20 years and raised two great kids using those 3 tools extensively. Like you, I had my doubts all those years ago. My girl is 27 lives & works in Tampa and is getting married this fall, and my son just graduated with a degree in engineering last week. I was 37 when my daughter was born and 42 when my son came along, so don't think age is a handicap. With age comes wisdom. Go for it with all your heart !! Throw yourself into it with the same attitude you run you business with and you can't help but to raise some happy, well adjusted kids !!! [/QUOTE]
