I love households where instruments are being played, finding them very sensuous and lovely

Hi Christine!
I'm so glad to see you back online!
I laughed when I read this. Those are not the words that spring to mind when I think of the music in our house. Drums sets and electric guitars with distortion pedals are not very peaceful.

You can't win that parent-kid thing--I insisted the boys take piano until it turned into a real test of wills, so I let them quit. Now they blame me because I let them.

"You should have MADE us keep taking! We were just kids! How did we know what was good for us?"
"We would have thanked you later."

Like I needed to put myself through the daily torture of trying to get them to practice just on the chance they would thank me on my deathbed? You'd have thought every day I was driving the ivories literally under their fingernails.
THey can thank me for other things-- straight teeth, or visits to the allergist.

Resign yourself to being blamed. BUt it blends in with all our other failings, so it's ok.

You know--- a lot can happen in seven minutes in a dark closet!!!!
