[quote=Anonymous]My mom was a 2nd grade teacher in a rough district and she was that teacher you would want your kid to have...the right combination of no-nonsense toughness, and knowing just what to say and how to say it type of caring. She was the same way at home.

I can't pinpoint specific memories because it was really just the day to day attitude about her that made my life what it was. My dh says I'm turning into her, which I take as a huge compliment, considering I spent my teenage and young adult years promising that I would be more adventurous and exciting than my parents were.

While I have had lots of special moments with my parents, I realize now while I'm parenting that is truly is the day to day things that create the tone of the family. While presents and vacations are nice, talking during family dinners, weekend time spent all together, and patience enough to just sit on the floor and play together are what really matter. My parents instilled that in me by example and I hope I am doing enough of the same with my children.[/quote]
