I find the same too. I have come to think of them as children of mine - giving them birth is not enough. They constantly require new clothes (arrangements), evenings out (sung at clubs), spending money (for recording). And after a while, they also want to go out with others (other singers asking to sing them).

But that's not the worst of it - a few flourish under the attention of others more than under mine (daughters getting married?)

Still - we wouldn't be without them, would we?
