Smile…You’re a Parent!
1. Parenting’s “Golden Years” is the period in your life when your kids are too old to require a babysitter and too young to take the car.
2. To be in your children’s memories tomorrow, one must be in their lives today.
3. The best advice regarding raising your children is to really enjoy them while they are still on your side.
4. Warm hearts, not cold words nor hot heads, best maintains a home’s temperature.
5. Any child can tell you that the sole purpose of a middle name is so that he or she can tell when they are REALLY in trouble.
6. Your children may outgrow your lap… but NEVER your heart.
7. The only true child experts are those that do not yet have any of their own.
8. Cleaning house with the children at home is a lot like snow-blowing during a blizzard.
9. There are only two things that your child is absolutely willing to share: communicable diseases and their mother’s age.
10. How come your dad never had money for the ice cream man when you were a kid, but after a visit with Grandpa, your kids “jingle”?
11. True genetics have nothing to do with hair and eye color. It’s the occurrence of such things as “Who said life was FAIR?”, and “Because I SAID so!” when you promised you’d never use those words on your kids.
12. “Practice what you preach” even covers never letting them see you snag those Ding Dongs for breakfast.
