My kids... it seems like not too long ago that I was stay at home dad and doing some consulting work from home. Primary duties was changing diapers, and taking them to play dates, Cub Scouts, dance recitals, soccer, little league baseball and softball.
The calendar says that it was about 12 yrs ago but it seems like more recent than that.
Now my son has a driver's license, a car, a girlfriend, applying to colleges and within 3 months will be a legal adult. My daughter is not far behind. I'm not a helicopter parent but hopefully I've instilled the values, ethics and responsibilities into their minds to be successful moving forward. I think this is every parent's wish.
The older I get, it seems like time speeds up. I may not like it but I can't stop it Change is inevitable, you raised your children to be independent adults, now it's their turn. Look forward, it's called success, be a proud Pop.
