What are your standout parenting wins...?

[MoeFOH]

My 12yo boy went to Paris recently. Pictured below is the gift he brought me back. I raised the kids on Tarantino, Monty Python, and Billy Connolly. It was an immensely proud moment for me. I see it as good parenting... Am I wrong?

I don't know. He told me he didn't go into Burger King. : )

I'm trying to take this same strategy with my 5 month old. We watched The Hateful 8 a couple weeks ago. Last week we watched Halloween and she giggled almost every time Michael Myers appeared. Some may call this inappropriate, I consider it just starting her out early lol. My other 2 girls have turned out fine haha

Nice work. I feel like if they're going to turn out as gangstas it's already in their DNA, so why not assist their education early. ; )

Well done, excellent parenting.  You should be proud!!

After having looked after my daughter as a single dad from day 13 I believe my biggest parenting win is having a daughter that is alive...

Another single dad here, raising my daughter (10) by myself since earlier this year.

A few weeks ago I was getting her ready for school and couldn't resist the opportunity to dress her to match her backpack

Having my 4 year olds tell me I’m the best “cooker”... without asking

You THINK you colour co-ordinated her clothes, but believe me, in the eyes of any woman you did not! My mother thankfully bundles up clothes for my daughter. If I pick what she wears I drop her off at nursery and they immediately say that I picked out her clothes...

On the brightside of life - I am known as MommyDaddy. And I am her best friend! (her own words).

My oldest was constantly asking for "the ch ch ch chain guy" by the time she was 3 years old.

She also was transfixed by and clapped at the end of Sang d'Encre by Jean Leloup at about the same time.

(That last one was for the French Canadians in the room;))

It only continued on from there. I'm pretty proud of her musical education.

Whatever weird music that I'll be too old to understand and enjoy that she listens to later, I know that I imparted a love of what was good in my era and before..

I like telling fellow parents that 4-16 is so easy. Wait till they are getting married or having a kid and 

1. Spend a fucking fortune of your money

2. Think you know nothing about raising children or a puppy

3. Name their baby the same name as your friend’s dog

4. Treat your house like a hotel

Then. They get their own house and at some time their kid becomes reality.

They beg for advice and forgiveness. 

And by the way, I told them when I am 80, they can change my diaper, cut and light my cigar and refill my bourbon.

Well there was this one time when my little daughter told her doll ‘ so now we go outside and have a smoke’

My 4-year-old girl likes to change her clothes 4 times a day. And one day, without asking her anything, she said, " I'll be the most popular stylist in the world." Of course, everything seemed strange to me until I understood that it is good to let her dream. However, I am pleased that she has so much confidence and motivation. I don't think she would have it if she didn't go to this preschool - https://kidcityusa.com/locations/. The staff motivates the children very well and explains everything on their understanding.
