There's nothing wrong with not wanting or needing it, but to fear it suggests a very small Self.

Over an 18-month period I was out of town for 8 months, and during the two months I was home I was only on day shift for like 2 months.<br /><br />I don't think this lady abandoned her family, and yes, there is a big double standard between what is acceptable for a man and what is acceptable for a woman. It's not fair, and never will be. <br /><br />As someone attempting to be a good father, more than feeling caught up in the minutia of every-day life, I am feeling run over by the ever advancing press of time...my girls are getting older, and someday they won't spend a Thursday evening sitting on my lap watching mindless TV shows like Wipeout.<br /><br />I can't imagine that anyone who has ever had the smallest...taste of this would be willing to give it up.greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282685892329599436noreply@blogger.com
