So I thought about this today while at the gym, that we have such a responsibility to our children to raise them to be good, successful and caring people that maybe we should take vows like we do on our wedding day. So I thought maybe I would do them here, so below are my vows to my boys, in no particular order.
1. I vow to always have your best interests at heart
2. I vow to always be your parent, not just your friend
3. I vow to kiss every ouchie... even when you break your heart
4. I vow to love you to the end of the earth and back
5. I vow to take care of myself so I can be the best mommy for you
6. I vow to love and take care of your father
7. I vow to teach you something new everyday
8. I vow to set a good example of what a good person is
9. I vow to teach you good morals
10. I vow to let you make your own mistakes, but be there for you when you do
11. I vow to listen, even when I don't understand
12. I vow to do whatever I have to do to make sure you have a good home and good education
13. I vow to try not to embarrass you too badly and not on purpose
14. I vow to teach you to be a great husband and father
15. I vow to teach you to dance
16. I vow to always be your soft spot to land...forever
I could go on and on but I think these are my major ones.
What a "darling" idea! For me being a mom takes precedence over everything. I can't imagine loving any person more than I love my daughter.
