I have kids that love me and include me in their lives. I help them a lot ,too. I am lucky in that my kids all "turned out" well, because I am not sure I had anything to do with it. But if you just love your kids, they will learn how to love, and that is the important thing in the world. My daughter is now in labor with my second grandchild, pure bliss, (for me!!!)

Yes, it's worth it. I was really tired when I got home last night, and he made dinner. He's very thoughtful. He's also very handy around the house, and all without the drawbacks of having a husband! He changes lightbulbs I can't reach, opens jars I can't open, and even changes the oil in my car. And he never ends a phone converstion with me without saying "I love you."

It does not matter whether it's something simple or not. You are making an effort to be aware of what your children are learning. Some parents are not like that. I think one day that even when you think the lesson you think did not reach your kid will come out in some sort of way that you least expect it. I am not sure if that came out clearly or not. But, the kids DO learn from a parent who is willing to take the time to teach. I was raised by my Grandparents and had many, many lectures on things. LOL! But, even though I thought I was gonna keel over if I got another lecture from my Grandfather, those lessons did sink it. :) I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving even though you have to work.
