a new appreciation

A new found and lovely appreciation for parents.

Parents sign up with every child they have about 20 years of servitude.
They go through cleaning and changing you. Clothing you and helping you sleep.
Teaching you simple things at 2 and 3
Learning to play nicely with other kids.
Teaching you boys have cooties.
Helping you with math homework.
Teaching you to never give up.
Keeping you on track with your goals and dreams and aspirations.
Teaching you that life is unfair.
Letting you grow up and learn on your own.
Letting you go camping with your neighbor for a weekend away from home.
Paying so much money for you to do things and heal you from your injuries.
Finally to the point where you are almost your own person and are dealing with drama and boys, and best friends, and jealousy.
Them being able to be your best friends and help you understand that you need certain criticism, and the fact you can take this criticism makes you stronger.
I can appreciate a lot more. :)
I can tell them anything!
*lightbulb* I can tell them anything ^_^
I'm very appreciative with my family and for putting up with me and my antics. As I am a girl and will never decide fully what I want.
