It’s hardly surprising that i don’t have much time for blogging these days. Refer to a couple of entries ago and the reasons continue to pile on. Regardless, i am taking advantage of the ‘down’ time on my flight back to consider this and that. In my new life, her kids are slowly beginning to accept me, while I slowly figure out how to best play my role in this act called parenting. For now, i mostly observe their interactions and make suggestions on my perception. I can’t suspect being able to really influence much at this point considering my irregular visits. I am only beginning to feel the weight of being a ‘role model’ although it would not be any less significant than my current position at work. It seems that one is rarely ever quite ready to be a role model but embrace it we must.
