Re: Leisurely Scribbles part 2
the concept of youngsters leaving home exemplified in the Beatles song ""She's Leaving Home"In the middle east, tribes nomadic or otherwise often just make larger houses for the growing family of sons and their wives as did the far eastern countries - this is a concept of we all stick together through thick and thin. the larger family is IMO richer for it both financially and socially.
Having left home myself at 18 from the north of England, headed south to the home counties there was of course a sense of excitement and challenge and I could say since then "I have never looked back" - but was it after all a good thing. my sister and brother did the same thing a few years later and left my parents feeling sad and lonely. was it really necessary or a good thing for us all?

Re: Leisurely Scribbles part 2
When I was young I spent a lot of my time avoiding being thrashed so I was delighted to leave home at 18 and never return, except for short visits. My life really started when I met Barb who is both a mistress and a mother to me. We live 200 miles from our boys. They know where to find us if they want us but I believe everyone should live their own lives without parental interference.31-01-2015, 11:50 PM
