When we asked our readers what makes them feel proud of the work they've done raising their children, here's what they had to say:
We are the ones who answer every single question, every single day; and we seem to say "No" more than "Yes!" ~ Barbara
You are the one who takes them to school everyday and picks them up everyday. ~ Nina
I get be the first to model true love. My son will become familiar with being treated well, cherished and valued. Hopefully, he will never settle for less. ~ Michele Scales
You look at your child with pride, knowing "I did that!" ~ Chris
When they do something that makes you proud (good grades, learn something new, overcome a challenge, etc.), there is no doubt that part of it is attributed to YOUR tender loving care. ~ Single Ma
When another adult (especially a teacher) compliments your child's manners or good behavior, you know it's because YOU taught them well. ~ Single Ma
When they are sick, they only want to be with YOU. ~ Single Ma
According to them, no one else can [fill in the blank] like YOU. ~ Single Ma
When they become adults, they will ALWAYS remember and appreciate the sacrifices you've made to provide them with the very best. ~ Single Ma
You teach your kids how to treat sales people, cashiers and other people you meet in public. ~ Susan B.
