Is It Worth It?

There are things I really love about my 12 year old boy. Today, I had one of those moments.  And if you're the parent of a pre-teen yourself, you know that when you have one of those moments, you must write it down.

Logan: "Mom, what is the hardest job you've ever had?" 

Me: "Why raising the three of you"...is my answer.

Logan: "Do you think it's worth it?"

Me: "We all hope it is. This is why we invest so much in each of you...In hopes of the reward being greater than the sacrifice."

Logan: "What reward would make it worth it to you?"

Me: "If you grew up to be happy. If you are, overall, a good person."

Logan: "Yeah, this is why I'm NEVER having kids!"

Good grief! I guess I didn't get my point across very effectively!!!
