I'm in constant amazement of my Mom raising us 6 kids, who all turned out great if I may say so. I hope mine turn out well, but I'm a bit discouraged. My 14 going on 30-year old is driving me to distraction and when she's not, my 6 year-old frazzles my last remaining nerve. My quiet nights at work are sometimes a welcome, if guilt-ridden relief.

Remember this important thing - Being a parent is not a popularity contest. Be willing to train your children to do what's right, and not just what will make you popular with them. If you keep that in mind - your kids will come out okay.
