to be fair
if you have kids and your life is wild and crazy, either you're lying, or you're a shit parent

Is there not a middle road?

Possibly with an adverse camber.

no
you can have a lot of fun. you might well prefer it to sex, drugs and rock'n'roll.

but it's never going to be wild and crazy as normal people would understand the meaning of those words. wild and crazy knows no middle road. that's the whole point.

I think it is possible to be a decent parent and still enjoy the occasional sex, drugs and rock'n'roll.

that's not the debate
the debate is whether you can be "wild and crazy" and live with your kids. the answer is no, no you can't.

you can try and recapture lost youth with a spliff in a car park whilst little johnny learns to swim and little rosie does ballet, but ultimately it's neither wild nor crazy.

True, but I think this is less to do with becoming a parent and more to do with getting older.

No, it's more to do with being in a fit state to look after the kids.
The answer is to get someone else to look after them while you go sex&drugs&rock'n'roll.
