As a parent: How did you feel you did as your kid became an adult?

Just wondering: Question for Maybe mothers/fathers/people who take care of kids. In your judgement of having or raising a kid: How would you grade yourself in how your kid ended up in the long run?

Would say your Child ended up being a success story and you and everyone were 100% proud of who they became?

Or maybe did end up doing wrong by the kid? Maybe your kid ended up in jail or prison or ended up living a bad life from you not being there for them?

Or maybe was it neutral? You don’t really have any judgement on how your kids ended up as adults? They just moved out and lived happily ever after??


Like my question about Jail: Just asking question cause wondering how peoples parenting or parent styles end up producing criminals or people who are locked up in prison?

 

A few bumps in the road, but we ended up raising two intelligent caring kids with noble professions, one's a policeman, the other a head of school. It's one of the joys of parenthood, seeing what good people your kids turn out to be.

 

We raised two boys. Both grew up to be good adults with kids of their own now. There were some struggles, but as a parent all you can do is give them the best chance you can and the rest is up to them. We feel really good about how both of them have turned out. For us communication was the key. They always knew where we stood on things. They didn't always like our stances, but they understood them and why. Now we are empty nesters and just waiting for retirement day.

 

I raised my two boys and their sister as a single parent. They were compliant kids , never argued , which is surprising because they have strong personalities as adults and were always fun to interact with. . The boys do not suffer fools gladly., they are smart and hard working adults and have taken over our company and are doing a great job. The daughter has her own business and is going to school to get into the medical trade. All and all, I'm very happy with the way they have been and are.
