I don't know many people at all who don't suffer from the "yo-yo syndrome;" like Susan, I also suffer from it. In thinking about it, I wonder if it's not indicative of the fact that all of us have points where we wonder what to do next: i.e. this looks like a great book, I'm going to read it -- only to be faced with the fact that something in the book turns out not to have appealed to you as much as you had thought/hoped, and you put it aside.<BR/><BR/>Robert Frost wasn't far off at all with his "two roads" analogy; we're all constantly faced with different roads, different decisions -- making them is always a struggle. As far as talking to your kids about doing/not doing one thing, and then doing it yourself, you have to keep in mind that you always want better for your kids than you had (or do).<BR/><BR/>I echo Susan's remark: thanks for such an honest post; please remember you're not going through this alone -- by ANY stretch of the imagination:-)NoVA Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16661990626635939447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1177425200404128301.post-78659074814244692842007-04-04T07:07:00.000-05:002007-04-04T07:07:00.000-05:00Just wanted you to know that I sometimes have the ...Just wanted you to know that I sometimes have the "yo-yo syndrome" too!
