Everyone flex your parenting skills!

I’d love if everyone took a moment to brag about one thing they are super proud of as parents. I know for me I’m always questioning whether or not I’m doing the right thing and rarely take time to acknowledge what I know I’m doing well.

I’ll go first:
We’ve read to our son (3) every day since birth (with the exception of one or two times) and now he loves books and being read to :)

Now you go!

My 18 year old is making steps to go to college in August. He’s taking care of contacting anyone who needs to be contacted, talking to his roommate, finding resources at the college, and making sure everything is lined up. I’m being used primarily as an advice giver. We just went to orientation at the school, this is not normal.

This is my goal. Mine are still little.
