re: What Is It Like Being a Parent?

We were lucky I suppose. My son was sleeping through the night by 3 months old. He's 5 now and pretty self-sufficient. Simply being strict about certain rules and expectations on top of my wife being a Supermom has lead to him waking up on time on his own, getting himself ready for school and bed, reading and writing, etc.

The best part is his personality. He's hilarious and sarcastic like his mom. He loves golf, trains, and his puppy golden retriever. He's gotten a little OCD about his play room. Everything has its place and he doesn't like when we clean it without his help to tell us where things belong.
