one moment that made it all worth while was my daughter came home after a term at college and said "Thanks for making me do the right things. I am not sure but my roommates seem to have been raised by aliens. They're rude, mean, thoughtless and total slobs... and that's on a good day. One's got to do community service work for underage drinking and that was after only two weeks on campus."
After hearing this my wife and I were all smiles... all those years of training and effort seem to have paid off. I guess it takes time before you begin to see the payoffs of being a parent.
Now that they are grown I am so proud to be the parent of these very special men that I bought into the world. And they are so good to their Mother it borders on spoiling me and I love it....
I love seeing the world with a new set of eyes. After a while, everything becomes boring and commonplace. It's amazing to see how many things I ignore that the kids notice and are fascinated with.
Watching and helping them grow up and become good people,,,the whole time was great,, even with the terrible 2's and all the other little incidences that came up... mine are grown now,,21and 24.
The hugs and kisses and the grandchildren! Mine are 33, 32, 25 and 13. My grandchildren are 7 and 5. Also the look of excitement in their eyes when they see you! There is a great satisfaction that the older three are married and in their own homes and doing well!
the daughter stating she loves me, the grandson who kisses my head every morning for the mirgrines to go away and the altimite best thing of being the parent is when you 16 year old call to ask if he can go somewhere with his friends and you say yes and he tell you he loves you in frint of all his friends who ohh and huuuh him for saying that
