I love that mentality. In the end, I am not raising children, just like people do not grow tomato flowers. I am raising adults who are just not there yet, like a tomato that is still a flower. These little people need to see things modeled for them appropriately, so they need to be with me for me to show them that.
Thanks for the excellent comment!
You're welcome! I am really enjoying seeing the pictures of you with your children - and it's profoundly true that what you're working on is the finished and beautiful adult because the child is going to disappear so quickly.
