Parenting

Mine: My dad never really spent much time with me / showed much interest (he died fairly young so we never got a chance to rectify that but he was a good soul otherwise).

I've invested a lot of time with all of my kids and it has paid huge dividends. I've always loved kids so I'm not sure it's directly related / I feel like I would have anyway but I do think about it from time to time as a possible motivator.

In fairness I feel like I landed on my feet pretty well with my folks, especially compared to some of the stuff I've read on the internet. My mum is an absolute legend. Love her to bits.
