..only a handful of things have shown the potential to bring happiness in my life. my kids would definitely steal the top spot on that brief list. well..they are great kids. may be thats such a cliche every parent throws in, but seriously i marvel at how well they have turn out in spite of my emotional downpour along the way. knock on wood. you know every time i look at them, they give me this incredible feeling, i have at least got a few things right in my life. no doubt other parents out there can relate to me. i try to raise them smart & well rounded/grounded.
i may not possess the typical mom cutout personality. i try to be brutally honest with my kids as much as i can push it, even if it diminishes their hopes of getting a gift from tooth fairy or running into santa claus some day. or even depriving them from getting something (these days its hsm & webkinz stuff) just because all cool kids in school have it. no nonsense, no fairy fibbing. they dont fly with me. but they get more than their fair share of toys & whatnot's just like every other kid here in the neighborhood just minus the fibbing & nonsense. so far they have responded reasonably well in my favor ..who knows maybe i just got lucky.

I am not a mother and I doubt I will be any time in the near future but I believe what makes a persona good parent is that they have miserable childhoods or such happy childhoods that they want to pass it on :) so keep doing what you do best...mums rock!!!
ironically enough, my kids are now around the same age when i first experienced the whole chaos. as much as it keeps me in check not letting them endure anything i did, i want them to see things as they are.
btw, im sure you'll make a great mom yourself one day!
I don't know about that...I don't think anyone tops my own Mum :D
