Random things that make you feel good as a parent

They thank whomever cooked dinner, every night. It’s usually me, but if it’s dad or one of them it’s always sincere gratitude.

When I get a compliment from a teacher or someone in the community about my kids being hard working or good, kind people. This is what I care about the most, I get such joy.

We changed our dinner time to align with our 2 year old, we eat together at 5:30-6 pm and hangout until his bedtime reading or listening nursery rhymes..I love our time together. Our toddler loves books and so far we have kept the screens out.

Our son comes into our bed when he wakes up and I love seeing him read/play with his books while we drink coffee.

My head swelled when our nanny told me, my DC is a sweet and affectionate baby. He randomly goes to her and hugs her. 🤮

why did you use a throw up emoji?

Your labeling of ‘special Ed student’ is cringe.

That was an error. I didn't mean to.

This is incredible! You’re a wonderful mom.💐

Father actually but thanks anyway.

That possibility occurred to me too late to edit. Your nephew is fortunate and you probably feel the same.

When my DD was in preschool (almost 4) her teacher told me that DD, “ has a beautiful vocabulary.”

I was an English major and spoke and read to my DD non stop. She talked before she could walk!

One of my favorite things to do is let parents know when I catch their kid doing something good.

My own middle schooler attends a large public school, and recently had a friend of a friend transfer from a tiny private school. My kid arranged to meet the new student on her first day to make sure she could find all her classes, invited her to sit with her group for lunch, and brought her the same little Valentine's treat she made for her friend group. I was so proud of her for making a scared new kid feel welcome.
