Quote by Mike O'Malley

I have three kids, and I'm a coach for a lot of their sports, so I'm around them a lot, but I see friends of mine with older kids and they don't really interact so much, other than giving them a place to live.

I have three kids, and I'm a coach for a lot of their sports

Summary

This quote highlights the author's observations of the varying dynamics between parents and their older children. It suggests that while some parents maintain close interactions and involvement with their kids, such as through coaching their sports teams, others seem to have more distant relationships, merely providing their children a place to live. The author's own experience with multiple children keeps them actively engaged, contrasting with their perception of other parents who may have less frequent or meaningful interactions with their older kids.
