How do you know when you’re an adult?

“Some memories we love to share with other people. We tell the stories of how we met a friend or spouse hundreds of times, polishing the details with each telling. Other memories we review privately, again and again, from different angles, at different speeds, and with different questions.” - Scott Berkun

“My family is an enigma to me, and I don't want it to be. I know magic doesn't exist, but for some things, knowing is not enough.” - Scott Berkun

“I realized becoming an adult demanded I recognize what I needed and hadn’t received, or what had been forced upon me that hurt me.” - Scott Berkun

I'll get us going. :-D

A skill I learned from my dad:
How to take big, bold risks

A skill I wish I learned from my dad:
Patience

Hi all! I'm a moderator in the group with plenty of father stories to tell.

I rather lucked out with my stepdad. He married my mom when I was just three and has been a constant, stable good guy kinda guy. I model my relationships with my own bonus kids off how he treated me.

My dad dad is another story. Brilliant, mad and as reliable as the wind. Some of my best and worst traits come from him.

I'll share more stories in the discussions, and will be posting the questions of the day. I look forward to reading your stories too!

Question of the day!
What skills did you learn from your dad – or wish you did?
