I have 5 kids (they youngest about to turn 21.).  I was always a pretty darn good parent up to about the time they each turned  12ish.  You know, when stuff gets really difficult.  Then I was a mess......................terrible parent.

I'm sure that is not true. Most people that reckon they failed, really tried hard to be a good parent - and almost always succeeded (I think, I don't have any empirical evidence).

I did my best as a young married and later a single parent.

'Cool' parents beware...you may end up with your 'cool' kids depending on you when they're adults if you spoil your kids too much.

Raise them to be 'cool' about doing their part.

Well, that was certainly my intent and goal.

Fortunately, my children think so---they grew up to be fully functional adults.
