So far what has been the biggest challenge for you in raising your children and how did you handle it? What has been your greatest reward?

Did someone forget to hit the SNOOZE bar on their biological clock?

Add a shot of vodka to their Kool Aid and they become very mellow and easy to handle.

They make "Benadryl" for that now, works good. Give em a shot, they fold up like a rubber band.

They should put grape Dimeatapp "on the rocks" on the kids menus at airport restaurants.

Thanks for the laugh. I needed a pick me up.

My younger daughter had troubles breathing well when laying down at night. I often slept on the couch sitting up with her on my chest - more vertical than horizontal. If she coughed I would pat her back. It seemed comforting for her. It cost me at least 100 nights of good sleep.

One night, she was about 18 months old, she had a cold and we were on the couch again. I had her cold also ( the lovely 30 pound germ sponges love to share with parental units). I coughed, ..... and she patted my back.

It seems to me that with everything in life, your job, your spouse, your car, your kids..... unless I invest some emotional energy in them, then I don't appreciate their value. Take a job that you have spilled your guts into for 15 years, then quit. How do you feel. You have a car like Hatty's SDL. You invest $, busted knuckles, and your free time... it becomes an emotional tie. Now multiply that times 1000 and that's where kids are. They are way harder to maintain than cars, and give back so much more.

You're a good writer.

Reward would be seeing all of your hard work FINALLY click In your kid's head and them making a well thought out decision concerning their life.

Best is seeing them as they go from doubt, to success in any aspect of their life. Worst, is when they do wrong, and know it. And they truly have a broke heart because of it.

I tried talking my daughter into breaking it off with her boyfriend of 2 years, due to him being a controlling type of person. It took 4 months after our talk, but she called me right after she broke up with him. she told me I was getting smarter everyday!

That's a moment of pride, when your kids understand your thinking and logic, and act on it.
