Are you a good role model to your children? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?

My parents are great role models to us. My parents are hard working, kind, compassion, honest, and nice. My mom had her first date when she was 23. Her first boyfriend was my father. She was a virgin bride and a great mother. My father had dated a woman in college, but did not work out. Then, he found my mom and falled in love with her. My parents have been married for 24 years. They have been faithful to each others. My father's friends offered free stripper and prostitutes to my father--my father said NO. My parents are the loving and warm couples. My parents help and support each other careers and goals. Over the years, they turned the romance into strong friendship. My father is a school teacher. My mother has her own small business at home. Everyday my father would come home to have lunch and dinner with her. Of course, they have breakfast together. It is amazing how close they can be. I cannot imagine they ever been separated from each others.

1. I think your parents lied ALOT!!!!
2. That is a beautiful story, Hope. It's nice to find out that there are good role models out there and that they sometimes have appreciative daughters like you. I hope that you will find a happiness like theirs in your life, too.
3. I tell my son I love him every moment that I can. I gave up my career to stay home with him after the dr. recommend that or tubes in his ears. I take him to the mall play area or the park every day to watch him giggle with other children. I sing to my daughter and clap at her little accomplishments at 8 months old. Everyone tells me she is the happiest baby they have seen in a while. I think that comes from the positive that she is around all day. As a couple we hug and snuggle in front of our little ones. We let them know that we are in harmony no matter what. Sometimes we sacrifice doing our priorities for that day just so that they can feel secure. Their father works 60 hours a week in a trainee program so that in a few years he will be able to afford their needs and some wants along with have time to make it to all of their functions at school etc.
4. I think I am a good role model. I live my life the way I want my children to live theirs. I'm not perfect but I try to aspire to "do as I do,not as I say do". Too many parents say "do as I say, not as I do." Never has worked, never will. Make sure you tell your parents every chance you get how you feel and how proud you are of them. The good parents don't get told enough.
