I wanted to answer part of Cookie's bingo, since it was two-fold: "...but money can't give you a hug or bring you a dandelion or say I love you Mommy!"
Answer: "The hugs and 'I love you's' I share with family and friends keep the home fires burning without the 25-year commitment to support them. And whatever flowers I don't buy myself, my BF fills in on days he wants to surprise me. It's quite perfect."
And now to answer freespirit: Respectable? If I were running for public office, I'd look into it. But I'm not, and I have all the respect I need in my job, my hobbies, my friendships and my relationship with my BF.
Bingo: With kids, you get to relive your youth!
