Thank you. But I'm not so sure about that -- I think they turned out right in spite of me. ;-)

That's what I used to say about ours :-)


I always say that if my children turn out as improved over how they were raised as I did, they will be outstandingly phenomenal people.

My youngest is filling the bill. My 3rd is coming within sight of the goal. My oldest is a special needs child and my expectations for him are a little lower than the rest, because he just doesn't get it half the time. And my 2nd is going through a construction site right now, and if she doesn't pick up nails in her tires or anything that will ruin her, she will come out okay on the other side.

The hardest part is watching them re-invent the wheel. Go through all the rites of passage on their own, unable or unwilling to take counsel from those of us who have BTDT long ago. Just like we did.
