my children make me proud because they are mine. they are gods' gift and should never be taken for granted. even when they don't do everything that is perfect they are still angels

I have 2 children ages 12 and 7 and I must say that I am only happy and proud. They are the main reasons why I work so hard, why I smile in spite of all the problems coming in and why I am very inspired. Why? besides being their father, they are growing up to be kind, smart and all the wonderful things I like about children. My daughter is very open to me and I am like an older brother to my son. I guess these reasons are good enough to be happy and proud. Cheers!

OH, don't get me started :-) Yes, I love being a mom! I am so proud of my son! It has been a joy to me from day one! There are bumps in the road, but none of them compare to the happiness of being a parent! Of course, I always wanted many children and was only able to have one, so am sure I am looking at it in a grateful way in an almost daily basis because of that, too.

I do not think it important if my child has made me happy or proud. I know my child is in this soil because of my pleasure and joy. Hence I want him secured and free from anxieties and I want him earn some money and live in peace.This is why I want him learn and learn anything sincerely as I believe if he is armed with knowledge in any stream may that be, he may be able to have a life. This much please.

My son is only 15 months old, but I am proud of everything he does. Everything from his loves and kisses to his giggles to his wobbly walking. Of course parenting is not all happiness. Parenthood is very exhausting, and sometimes frightening. A bad cough can scare you worse then watching Saw II on HBO late at night.

Yes I do, I'm very proud of my son! I see myself in him and I know that He can surpass my achievements. By the way he's just two years old.

of course being a mother is the best. my children always make me happy and laugh at all the funny things they do and they also make me proud of them when they are learning something for the first time or make great descions. nothing about being a mother to my kids is disappointing

Yes, mamaoagmemoirs, I'm very proud of my daughter. When I see what so many of her high school classmates have done with their lives, I'm extra proud. My daughter is a college instructor, at the moment, with a Masters Degree in Sociology with hopes of persuing her Doctorate in Crimonology somewhere down the line. She makes me feel that somewhere down the line, I did something right!!
