Even though your kids will consistently do the exact opposite of what you're telling them to do, you have to keep loving them just as much.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You tell your kids that no matter what, you set your goals and you go for them. Whatever it is you achieve, never give up. You want your kids to have that good attitude, the confidence, and the will power to believe in themselves.
You have to love your children unselfishly. That's hard. But it's the only way.
The real question isn't whether you love your kids or not, but how well you are able to demonstrate your love and caring so that your children really feel loved.
I think the best thing that you can do with your kids is to talk to them like they're human beings, not like they're children and they don't know what they're doing.
Once your kids get older and get out of the house, it's not like it stops. They're on the phone with me every day; I'm intimately involved in their problems.
When you have children it completely shifts your focus; they become the most passionate love of your life.
Respect your kids. They are their own people. I think sometimes we expect kids to be perfect when we're not perfect.
My kids are free to do what ever they want. Because I only advise. I don't make them do anything.
You have to really respect what your kids are doing with their kids and how they're raising them. You can't push your way into areas where you shouldn't be saying anything. You have to always remember they're not your own kids. Play with them, love them, spoil them to death - then hand them back.
When you have kids, they are the consistent things in your life. They don't change no matter what's going on. They love you. They are more honest than anybody will be.
