I have never been tired of being a parent. I have two great kids, 18 and 22. I can't wait to become a grandparent. And I have NEVER called my boys STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mine are 19 and almost 22 and I feel the same as you, judy. Mine know I am SOOOO looking forward to being a grandparent, but I can wait patiently--no reason to rush. :D
The kids didn't walk into our homes and demand to be cared for properly--we invited them. Parent daily so there are no regrets. Every word, every tone makes a huge impression.
It's amazing to me that it's easier to become a parent than it is to drive a car.
