Raising our children over the past 30 years has been both frustrating and rewarding. In my opinion, staying involved in your childrens life fulltime is a must. Even after coming home from work after a 12 hour day, we took the time to stay tuned in to what was going on in our children's lives. I know people who took the easy way out and just let their childens lives to be put on the back burner and the majority of them have messed up children. You have to walk the walk as well as talk the talk. Let's face the facts. If we carry on cursing, drinking,being disrespectful to the wife,---guess what? This is teaching your kids and more than likely they will take your behavior as what is expected of them. There are just too many irresponsible parents .
Our work to mentor our grandchildren doesn't stop just because our children are raised. Being a grandparent is a privalege.Being a good grandparent is a duty. I hope many more are in my future.
