Children and parents can love each other--that's nature's way--but it
is important for them to truly LIKE each other, as well.
Being a parent is more than just helping with homework, kissing
scraped knees, or nursing the chicken pox. It's a lifelong job.
Moreover, it's the most challenging--yet the most rewarding--job you
will ever have.
There's no book which can tell you how to be the perfect parent. And
I'm thankful that there are no such rules to follow...because if there
are, I've probably broken them all! Every child is special and unique;
you just do the very best you can.
There is no greater joy than finding your meaning in life--except
maybe helping someone you love, like your daughter, find hers.
I just love it when Brit tells me I'm 'cool,' even though I don't understand everything that she likes or does...for instance, the belly-button-piercing thing I just *do not get!*
