Sooo relatable and great comment! Our son and daughter loved stories every night without fail. When we had company, they informed me, "But Mommy....we can't go to sleep without our stories."
It is so obvious what children need to be children and parenting is not for everyone. My husband and I vividly remember putting our grandchild to bed and staying with her until she finally was out for the night. 😂 She was one 'tough cookie' but finally the lights would go out. 😉
We were so lucky to be given a fabulous daughter AND son-in-law who are wonderful parents. We could not ask for more...
