Bird Parenting - Returning Home after Leaving the Nest

It's not easy being a parent.  You do the best you can, you raise your kids to be independent.  They eventually leave the home you built for them and you hardly ever see them again. They grow up to raise their own kids.


But every once in awhile, your child returns home for some of your special home cooking.  Your cooking always remains a solid memory in your child's mind whether it's was good or bad.


Sometimes your children don't always resemble their parents.  That's when the hard day comes around...the day when your child asks you..."Mom! Was I adopted?"


"Of course not!" you smile and reply...it's just that you inherited all of your dad's genes!
