What’s the best parenting advice you received from your mom (or someone you consider to be like a mother to you)?

well..I certainly tried! LOL


but I have to say..my kids are really nice human beings...both in public service...one a teacher the other a 911 dispatcher


about my ds I say :"His is the calm voice you here when you call 911"


and I must say...when I call him (at home, not 911!!) his voice is calming


and now he is Dad of 3...very involved daddy


the 2 yr old said "daddy is superman"(so for Xmas I got him a shirt that says "DAD" inside the superman logo


on the TODAY show today they mentioned a new book "Today's Moms" for new mothers

What a fantastic man! That is not a job I could do. I'd be too emotional and panicky.


You should be sooooooo proud-it sounds like your kids turned out to be wonderful people. :)

funny you should say this:

our local paper did a special supplement on our 911. the director,Alex, (a former student of mine :) said many people run crying from the training!

I would truly believe this. All it would take from one person trying to get help for an injured/dying
