the older i get, the more i realize that i don't know half as much as i thought i should be knowing. i mean, when we were kids, you thought that you would have figured out the big answers by the time you were 18, and that our moms and pops knew all the answers - big or small!
but having become a parent myself, there are still large pockets of child-like thinking in my brain... so many areas i feel incompetent in.... so many things i don't know.
sounds pathetic, but i think i would still feel this way when i am 80!
anybody who has been there, done that, who can tell me whether this is a common disillusionment of adulthood? or i am one of those who just haven't acquired common wisdom that comes with age?
