Let me just state this for the record ....YES, I AM A PROUD PARENT...
Yesterday The Kid was looking at my site on myspace and she noticed that on my profile under Details for Children I had put that "I don't want kids" Needless to say this set her off...she told me that now she REALLY knows how I feel about her (her feelings were hurt)...
Now first off I have to tell you that I really hate filling out these things (I kind of Zone out while filling them) and they always ask things that don't relate to me....And I'm just plain NO good at it....
I had 6 choices to chose from : the 1st one being "I don't want Kids" the 2nd "Someday" 3rd "Undecided" 4th "Love kids, but not for me" 5th "Proud Parent" and the last "No answer"....
Why they put "Proud Parent" near the bottom is a mystery to me...it should have been the first to choose from... I'm not sure why I chose the 1st one..I was probably thinking I didn't want to go out with a guy who wanted to have more kids....I'm way tooo old for that...
I figure once you have had the perfect child you don't want to tempt the gods by trying for more (buttering up to The Kid here LOL). Just my luck the next child would be just like me...OH NO!!!
I really lucked out having The Kid, she was not only the most beautiful child in the world (I have pictures to prove this, maybe someday I'll post them) but the best natured too...(altho #1 Niece will probably tell you some stories about her otherwise) and YES I've always been PROUD of her..even when she gave me trouble when she was a teenager I was still so Proud to be her MOM...
I'm not sure she was always proud of me. I used to worry alot about her being ashamed of the way I looked and acted...but now I think I understand that it isn't all about looks, its' about how you feel about a person and how that person feels about you... The Kid could have been the most deformed child in the world (thank god she isn't) and I would still be proud of her.. She is the best daughter a Mother could ever ask for... She has been and will always be there for me when I need her..and ditto for me...
I'm proud of the Mother that she has become to Bubba & Lil Bit. I'm proud of how she embraces life and doesn't let anything keep her down (at least not for long, after all she is only human)... She is dealing with some rough times right now with her ex but I know she will do what is right for Bubba and stay true to herself...
As a PROUD Mother let me tell you that daughters don't come any better than MINE!!!

Aw... (suck up!) Well, I feel better now. :o) Had me thinking you were ashamed. Just as an FYI, I've never been ashamed of you for ANY reason. And I've always been proud that you're my Mom. You did the best you could with me, and during those teenage years that says a lot, as I certainly was NOT the perfect daughter. But I think I turned out pretty damned good! I was very lucky to have both you & Lar. The support you both gave me helped to make that person you're proud of today. Love, your proud Daughter (hugs & smooches!!!)
Sure, I say the "f" word once here and the Kid gets all worked up and she just said "damned" and nothing. She always gets away with everything! Gah!!
You know, I noticed the Myspace thing, but I didn't realize it had a "Proud Parent" option, shame, shame.
Love you both!
