Parents and kids

Next week my Sister and Brother-in-law, Sally and Raymond, celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary on the same day as their son, Matt, celebrates his 21st birthday. I was chatting about this with a colleague who is married but not yet a father. His reaction was that it was a shame they had to share their big day with another person's celebration. That reaction surprised me because as a parent I think it would be completely marvellous to share such major milestones with your child.

Yet another way in which parenthood completely changes your perspective.

I wonder how Matt feels about sharing his big day with his parents?
