i think kids dont need privacy your paying the bills

communication between your kids changes so much throughout the years. by the time i finally clue in how to communicate with my son at a certain stage, he's almost into the next stage & then i've got to figure it out again.
i've gotta tell you all though, i just love it. watching them grow & learn is the most amazing experience i've had in this life.
cheers.
