That's why you are a good parent and why there should be more like you.

Thank you...we try our best. We are not perfect by any means, but we try.

We came home from the Lodge feeling really good..........I was shocked by the amount of compliments we were paide about our daughter. Even one guy who does not speak to me (long story) commented to my husband about what a well behaved child we have.

Sometimes even with the best efforts, kids turn out not quite the way parents want them too, but good parenting never hurt. We always liked it when someone complimented us on our good behavior if my mom and dad took us to a restaurant. With eight kids, though, that wasn't always possible:).

I love giving out (and yes hearing:) compliments. It's something simple that my own parents taught us, but it seems so hard for people to do nowadays. But it sure makes a person's day when they receive one. I sure can't give you enough--you are doing a wonderful job it seems and this old teacher sure appreciates it. I am privileged to know so many good parents. And yes, I make sure I let them know how I think too.
