Thanks for the advice and I'm glad you had a great time with your daughter. I hope my kids can also show me a thing or two in the future.

Yes, there is a lot more to tell as is the case if you go to the total unfamiliar. I so agree with your comment about allowing the role reversal to happen. Being a parent is for so long about being responsible and protective and it kind of becomes second nature. But as you say, it is a sight to see when the child takes over. Liberating for both of us. Now I cannot wait until she invites me! @ Jan Willem. Yes, there is a lot more to tell as is the case if you go to the total unfamiliar.

Glad the Vietnam experience was a great one. I can't wait to hear the rest of the story. With growing up kids, it is for parents an amazing experience to see offspring take charge. How proud makes it feel us but the most difficult part usually is for us to ALLOW it to happen. We are parents after all, and that is where the circle closes. Good on you for letting loose and with that getting close. Isn't it a wonderful dynamic? Hi Wilma, welcome back. Glad the Vietnam experience was a great one.
