I remember one classic song I think by John Ford Coley entitled "Sad to Belong" in which lyrics is a story that goes when a man fell in love with someone he believes the right one but he just couldn't pursue because he was already commited with someone else. A part of the some exposes some sort of regrets - "I wish I had a time machine I could make my self go back until the day I was born. And I will live my life again and rearrange so that I will be your from now on". How tragic isn't it? Good thing that it did not happren to me. But, given the power to manipulate and rearrange thing I will certainly do some revisions of it. Probably I will take good care of my parents' health in a more meticulous way so that they will live s lot longer. How about you? What will you do if given such power?

I know for sure I would have changed my brother in laws involvement with my life. He is always at my house every night and stays till we put the kids to bed. I would have made a rule when we first got married that he left at a decent time so my husband and myself would have time to spend with our children without him here.This has been going on for the entire 28 years of my marriage.

What? For 28 years of marriage? I suggest that you discuss this with your husband. I am married too but no kids yet. We live apart during weekdays because we both have distant workplaces and we just can't afford to find a place that is accessible for our workplaces. So, we need to make a little adjustment. But should there be a chance or an instance wherein we can secure one, I do not want to be with my in laws or neither will he want my siblings to share a house with.
