What age is grown up?

Today, my 18 year old son had a dentist appointment. I made the appointment, confirmed the appointment and made sure my son got up and dressed for the appointment. As I was shoving him out the door he asked me.."Aren't you coming". I responded, "yea, I'll be right there."
 OK!! Here is the deal!! When I was 18, my Mommy did not go to the dentist with me. Not only did I go with my son, but I sat in the exam room while he was being examined. DAMN!! Am I pathetic or what? Why didn't I push my son out the door and tell him he is a grown man now and can go to the dentist by himself? GEESH, No wonder I never get a break, I don't allow it.
 Anyways, at what age should kids go to appointments by themselves? I mean, lets face it kids are not growing up as fast as they used to. But at the same time, is that a good or bad thing?
Whatever!!I think I'll pour myself a beer and help my 7 year old do her homework. Hell, maybe I'll even do it for her.
Enough about that...here's another recipe. This time it is a cocktail. hope you enjoy!
                                                   Beach Dreaming                                    
       1oz coconut rum          
       1/2oz pomegranate juice
       3oz cranberry juice      
       3oz orange juice           
       1 lime wedge                             
        Fill glass with ice, add rum, pomegranate juice ,orange juice and cranberry juice then stir. Squeeze lime into drink and then enjoy!! Yummy, it'll take your troubles to the back burner, temporarily.

  1. My twins are 30 years old and still call me Mommy. It's sweet music to my ears and a desirable 'Term of Endearment'. A child is never to old to need us but sometimes we have to give them a much needed nudge to be more independent.

    Love the blog! Keep the recipes coming.
