Lately I've been talking to my mom and some older female neighbors about the child-men I know... D. is not one of them; at least in that he hasn't gone out and bought a Harley like two of his friends so that they could have more free time (without asking their wives); or decided to run off to another country and abandon his kids like another friend's ex, citing his need to "start over"; or suddenly changed his mind about having children while secretly cheating on me online with a younger woman with kids like another friend's ex; or accused me of having changed beyond recognition and stunting his personal growth like yet another friend's ex. But D. did have almost 20 years of adulthood before becoming a father. That has its consequences. There is sometimes a restlessness, a grudging at constraints, an idealization that children should fit into one's life instead of completely rearranging it. <br /><br />Definitely going to request this book. : )Ellen K.http://www.southcitysadie.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-38119723145431738892011-06-20T11:11:52.976-04:002011-06-20T11:11:52.976-04:00My books-to-read list is ever expanding, but I hav...My books-to-read list is ever expanding, but I have to say these all sound intriguing...
