the definition of relevance

My wife didn't agree with my last post about staying "relevant" as parents.  She thought that I came off as pretentious in assuming that I know what relevancy is.

Wife: "What are you comparing your relevancy to?"  
Me: "Parents who become boring and stop caring about anything unrelated to their kids."  
Wife: "It's not about relevancy but it's about staying true to yourself and who you were before you became a parent."  
Me: "But what if you weren't relevant before you had kids?

I assume a lot of my readers are like me.  Creative types who are embracing parenting with a different view.  And I'm not here to judge anyone, to each his own when it comes to raising a family, it's not an easy job.  All I'm saying is that for me, I want to stay related to the world I know.  Because that's who I am.  And that's apart of me.  And it's apart of me that I want to pass on to my children.
