I thought since so many of are parents this may be good thread and because all our munchkins do things that make us proud here would be a good place too brag lol.It could be something simple like an award to there first step or even that finally ate theyre broccoli.Since its my eldests 19th Birthday today I thought id start with her :razz:

My eldest daughter "K' is only 19 but has already done so much to make me proud .She was primary school head girl, then went on to become high school prefect ,played state netball and won the school dux award for english .Was a Prom queen and very popular .
Shes worked part time since she was 13 and has always saved .She bought a brand new car last year .She now works full time in the chemist she worked part time for 4 years in .Shes just been promoted to manager a huge accomplishment for a 19yr old She has people twice her age working under her.Then last week she went out and bought a block of land in one of Perths most prestigous Estates.These are just a few of the things shes accomplished on her own .Im sure Ill add to it later lol.

Hope this is also a reminder that young parents can also be good parents,I was very young when I had her(17) and think it would be nice if people didnt judge by age..

Ok look forward to hearing about your littlies :biggrin: ( nieces ,nephews or anyone else too please)

So nice, Bell! What an accomplished daughter!


Let's see... I am most proud of my daughter right now because we are successfully potty-training. She just turned two at the beginning of June, and she has had access to her own potty chair for several months.

I bought her special "big girl panties" for her birthday and a couple weeks ago started putting them on her. Now she asks for "big girls" all the time. She was having about 1 accident a day, but for the last three days... not one accident! She is even staying dry at night!

I know potty training is supposed to be tricky with some kids, but she makes me so proud! No complaining, no resorting to bribery... she gets hugs and kisses when she is a "big girl".

Im proud of all my children, as us parents always are.
But i must say im extra proud of my eldest son right now, he is just turning 20 this month, he left school and went straight in to a hard job telesales.
Dont sound hard to you, well if you dont get your sales you dont get paid very much and if you dont meet your targets your not very good.
My son was in this job 4 years and every year topped his annual sales big time.
Now hes landed himself a customer advisors job at natwest bank, hes the youngest customer advisor in the south east.
Normally you start as a cashier, but he was straight in to this job.
He will be a bank manager within 3 years, and considering none of our family have ever been to uni or anything, my boys done so well.

im proud of my mom because she's done a good job in raising my sister, brother and i despite the fact that we've been through some hard times. my mom and dad got a divorce when i was 7 or 8 and our dog was put to sleep at the same time, so it was a very emotional time for the whole family, but 12 years later we turned out ok, i'm 19 now and in college (uni) working my way through, my grades arent the best but she knows i try hard..

thanks mom

That's sweet of Roco :). My parents split up around when I was that age, then mom passed when i was 9, it really made me appreciate her...
