My son is almost 13 and he always asks how I am doing every day, no matter what. My daughters do, also. It's just great to see a boy that is caring and compassionate as well.
I agree with everyone. I have been upfront and honest with my kids, especially when I have a bad day. I have pushed myself too hard sometimes to be at every single function. I just can't bring myself to miss anything.
I have paid for it, but it is a small price to make the kids happy. They lost their dad, so I feel I owe it to them.
I know I push myself too hard, but I am not sure how to stop myself lol
