A dilemma of parenthood
Christmas week is a time when families come together and bridge the generation gap. Grandparents get to watch video games and DVDs. Kids get to hear a singalong.
Something I’ve noticed this year is that Dude has come of age with his cricket. He’s no longer the awkward little kid who could hardly hit a ball and couldn’t bowl straight.
He hits the ball more often than not, but more impressively, he generates some serious pace when bowling and is fairly accurate.
I used to love backyard cricket when I was young, and when Dude was born in March 1996 it was almost a cliche that I had someone to share that passion.
Now that he’s at the point where he can actually play, my time to play with him is limited to holidays and maybe some weekends. That’s the dilemma of parenthood and responsibility.
