Life is a ride.





You will not be a perfect parent and more than likely your child will have issues from something you did or did not to so just enjoy it and save up for therapy.





Also your kids will have plenty of friends but they really need a parent but there will be times their friends will turn on them so you need to know how to be a friend as well. Know when to be what your child needs.





Find the humor in the things they do when they are young because as they get older the crap they do becomes less funny.





Your children are a reflection of you, so make sure to put your best foot forward.
';You are the parent and it is your responsibility to make the decisions. Anyone can have an opinion, but remember that it is your ultimate responsibility.';





I pass this one on to all of my friends who have been overwhelmed by advice from other people on how to raise their kids.



';Stop worrying about everything and every little detail in life. You're making yourself a mess.'; Spoken by my daughters 3rd grade teacher a couple years ago.
Enjoy these days now before they are gone. You can always have a prefectly clean house or career later but you can't redo this day with your child.
If no one else is paying your bills and supporting your kids then it does not matter what they say. Live your life how you want.
You must pick your battles to fight and the ones you pick you must win. Has worked this far, though my kids are still all young. :)
