More Parenthood 101

A lifelong friend offered her pearls of wisdom! Thanks Aunt Nancy! My original entry is here. If you have some more...please leave a comment or send them to me.

• Children grow up to act like you have been acting all of these years, so be kind, loving and fair
• Never doubt that raising children is a full time job...forever
• Listen, really listen... they have a view point that is often right for them
• Remember that in their hearts they want to please you, so let them by letting them be themselves
• Don't freak out too much when they are under 21 years old and the calls come late at night
• Remember in the morning to tell them that you NEVER want to receive another one of those calls
• Don't tell them, show them, over and over and over and over again, with patience
• Do not let them run amuck in your home or in other homes
• Remember...... most of the time it is worth it
