I think it's really cool that you were open-minded enough to try things that you were unsure of...just think of all the things you enjoy that you may never have allowed yourself to experience if you just shut it down in the beginning without trying it out. I also think that finding a way to work around children like that takes a lot of time and thought, and the fact that you have been able to balance both aspects in your life is very respectable. I am curious though, what term did you come up with to use around your children?
