Love, support..that sort of thing. I hope that my kids are comfortable enough with themselves that they don't feel the need to prove how big they are to others by "striking it out on there own" - as though that could prove any such thing to begin with....I hope they never see any reason to feel shame for being my children, or for having me take care of them. We got here by sticking together, after all.

I am still productive, I do things for her around her retirement home apartment, I take her out to shop and to her doctors appointments and out to eat, things that she would have to pay even more for a professional on top of her rent. And I also spend all day promoting science(edit), and fight religious bigotry and homophobia. There are more ways to be productive than simply earning a paycheck. Not saying everyone should do what I do, but it is what works for us.
