Also a good point. I’ve been surprised recently when my kids have told me what good parents they think we were. I felt (at the time) like we were muddling thru. :)
that's always a great feeling. It really came home for us when our first born got married and had his first child. He stated that he didn't realize all the stuff we went through and that, while he always loved us, he loved us even more and had a newfound respect for us (especially since we were so young when he was born). I think your kids will be saying it more and more as they get older.
Kudos and what a privilege to be recognized for bestowing ‘blessings’ upon your children.
