Armando stuck around for another podcast after a fun one on Changing Lanes Above the Neck Podcast (CLANT Episode #043)  Talking about blended families or even dating someone with a child at home brought up quite a few subjects.  We did agree that while raising kids is a huge responsibility, both the parent and the significant other need to be on the same page with expectations and consequences.  As opposed to dating and the white picket fence syndrome (The Pete Factor) the ultimate goal here is getting them on with their life by making them a productive member of society outside of your domicile.  Being the hardest job you will ever love, parenting does not come with an instruction manual and there is a lot of on the job training about what works and what does not.  Just don't give up.  It is worth it in the end.  Thanks Armando.  See ya next time.
