HsMomma Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 You know, I've been on LS for several months now & there are so many people who need help with so many issues (myself included) that I thought it would be nice to start a thread where we as parents can brag about our children. I'll start: my daughter is one of the few teenagers I know who still likes to spend time with her mom. She also always talks about me in a positive way to her friends (they've told me so ) and I'm so proud of the young woman she's becoming. She makes me better than I am!
Girlygal Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 My son is competeing is 10th grade competitions, as a 3rd grader!!! and made it to the national rounds in the math portion. He is also an amazing soccer player and has won several championships with his team and was drafted by an elite team out of pittsburgh. I never get the chance to brag because parents give you an evil eye when you boast about your kid. But i think he is pretty darn special!!!! Thanks for giving me a spot to say he is AWESOME!

Wow - what an incredible kid! You have a terrific reason to think he is pretty darn special, Girly. It's great for me to read something wonderful about somebody else's child. I like the idea of being able to brag without judgment!
Lizzie60 Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 My daughter: She is beautiful (spitting image of young Brooke Shield - in Blue Lagoon), she is extremely intelligent, she has traveled the world doing volunteer work, studying, etc.; she is soooo gentle and respectful.. we never EVER had any serious argument, she was the 'model' child, always been. She has a great job (now on sabbatical to raise her children).. she also work from home (freelance in communications).. for a lot more money than her actual job... She never smoked, doesn't drink, never took drugs. She is now the greatest mother I've seen... she 'study' her children (the way they cry, etc.. their little personalities, making sure they will be responsible adults, well mannered, etc.. (they are just adorable)... She has been with her bf for almost 11 years now.. they share the same views on almost everything.. they really are a great match.. My son: He's totally different.. extremely shy, extroverted, (I doubt he's got Asperger's syndrome).. he takes a lot of drugs.. he's a good boy but he's got soooo much to learn from life.. and I'm not sure how and when he will commit himself to get better.. in the meantime.. I have to support him financially and emotionally .. the best I can... hoping he will eventually get a better life for himself. He's very good looking but he thinks he's horrible. Our children are our treasures!!! (good or not so good )..

I'm certain that you are a wonderful support system for him and he'll come around eventually. Take a bow, though - one down in the "raised 'em up right & am proud of who they are" arena & one to go!
scared007 Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 My oldest child, a daughter, is beautiful, smart, and a great mother. She's sweet and funny and excels at anything she tries. My son is gorgeous, articulate, athletic, and one of the best conversationalists I know. My youngest child, another daughter, was absolutely the cutest baby I've still ever seen, and grew up to be just as pretty. She's got tons of book smarts, dimples, and isn't afraid of much of anything. Proud mama here!

Eve Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Our young people are absolutely hilarious! They make us laugh SO much! They are not pretentious and have good values that attract positive friendships. They do have a lot of common sense, a firm understanding of spirit and are not hateful, nor prejudiced against any groups different to themselves. We are very very proud of them all. Oh, they are all fabulously attractive and smart too. It has not been easy directing four different personalities but if I had my life again, I would not change a thing. We adore them. Take care, Eve xx
bentnotbroken Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Where do I begin??? Thanking God for as well as they turned out because they had a crazy person for a mother and a (#^&% as a father. Though in the beginning he was a great dad and without him, I would have those 2 beautiful, talented, intelligent and just ever so slightly sarcastic people who make me laugh, push me to be my best and inspire me to be a better parent and friend. I am blessed and privileged to share their lives and I look forward to the future they have ahead of them. Though I don't want to be a grandma(mimi)yet, I am looking forward to watching them raise their own children and seeing what great parents they will make. Thank you Lord.
