I never made peace with the idea. Eveything about childhood is so short and sweet, and I live my life to avoid regret, especially regret that I could have, should have sacrificed more to spend more time with my kids, who, in the end only remember the time they spent with me, not any of the sacrifices. I was a SAHD, and I sadly believe this led to my divorce, and I wish with all of my heart my ex and I understood this about each other before we procreated. Anyway, my boys and I have memories of their first 11 years that no one can take from us, and I think my sons are miles ahead of many other boys, having seen a daily role model in their home take care of the small and the big things in life as I think a man should. I wouldn't change a thing
