I think that it is a generational thing. My parents and grandparents did that, #3, but my wife and I think that is ridiculous. Christy, I plan on buying my wife that new Mustang next year. It will be HER car. Only thing is that they are pretty skittish on the icey roads up here in the weather. With regard to the wedding photo Nate made a comment about how pretty Mom was in the photo, but he finished it up with, "But you are even more beautiful now." I got him trained good!! Miles  Boy you sure do miles  :-Xfor Nate |

My grandparents have always called each other "mom" and " Dad" in front of us grandkids. I always found it kinda weird, but thought it makes sense to. When talking about each other to the kids, we always refer to the other by the name the child would call them. We say, "go ask dad", not "go ask Andy." lol
I guess I have to proudly say, lol, that only nine and ten apply to us so far...but we've only been at it a decade. LOL

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

Haydn and I have been married 13 years+ and I can tell in about 3 seconds when he comes home what kind of mood he's in. As far as birthdays, Haydn set our wedding date because it was the week before my birthday. As it turned out Rose's birthday is the day after our wedding anniversary.( I went into labor on out second wedding anniversary) so we have 3 holidays with in 6 days of each other. (I get expensive combined presents, I can't call all of them great because one year he got me a full set of tires for a combined present. Not exactly romantic but very functional)
You also know you have been married a long time when your husband passes gas and doesn't say "Excuse me."

My DH still calls himself Daddy to the kids. " Daddy has to go to the store." Why do we do that to babies anyway? Just to establish that we are "Mommy" and " Daddy" to them? Anyway I haven't had the heart to tell DH that he can use the pronoun I now. Regarding the mid-life crisis: I was sooo tempted to test drive some of those sports cars but didn't want to waste time--maybe another time I will if I can talk DH into it. He actually told me we could look at sportier ones if I wanted to, but my practicality won out.  |

Oh go do it even if you do not intend to buy the car. Just for the fun of it. When you were little, did you ever ride a bike in the store just to see how it would handle? Miles |

I was never allowed to do that But we could roam around without mom, and mess with the fish and birds at the back of the 5 and 10 |
