a lot of our sensibilities and priorities change... there is a long list of things i wanted to do when i became independent, for example i would fantasize about eating an entire pie and my parents couldn't tell me no. but now i haven't felt any desire to do it or most other things on the list, even though they'd be easy and i have the time and money to do them. i have to keep in mind how different the child mind is, and i will humor my children whenever i can rather than pushing them to grow up quickly
