For younger parents, your hard work will pay off in the long run. When your children gets to be teenager and being stubborn..they will not remember what you did for them when they were little because they are too busy identifying themselves with their peers. When they get to be adults and have children of their own, they will remember every little things you’ve done especially those precious moments that did not cost anything. Playing tags with them at the park, swinging and sliding. They will remember how you spent time with them at the store or malls. You don’t spend anything but window shop still together and talking. Spend time with them while they are little. These are their tender years easy to mould in your way of thinking and doing things. They are like sponges that absorbs everything and even when they get to be adolescents/adults even if they stray from your teaching they will always have that in their minds. Fill their minds with good things through your example. They will be proud you are their parents. ~ Norma Powell
Keep buying all that junk and they won’t respect and want more and more. Teach them to work and earn their money too. Help with half when they want a car, big purchases but we never paid rent when living at home but worked and bought our “fun” things ourselves. ~ Donna Orlowski
I see some parents who think their responsibilities of parenting are accomplished through purchases as fulfilling financial obligations, yet don’t put forth much quality time with their little ones. It should be just the opposite. Your child will not remember the fancy trips you took or the snazzy clothes they wore, but as for myself I know I fondly remember being read to and my mom sitting with me and interacting with her through talking and laughing. one of my first memories with my mom was her blowing bubble gum bubbles and I would pop the bubble and we would laugh. Not just time but quality time. ~ Falon Montgomery
I am spending time with my son much as I can and enjoying every bit of it. Making memories with your kids are the best gift you can give a child. ~ Jill Sterling
