Family Matters

The famous comedian Ray Romano once
said, “Having children is like living in a frat
house—nobody sleeps, everything’s broken,
and there’s a lot of throwing up.”
Parenting is definitely not for sissies! As a
parent your heart will be stretched with
love beyond anything you’ve known—and
your patience will be, too.
From their child’s
first days as a
helpless infant to
the wild ride of
adolescence, parents
constantly
find themselves in
a role they aren’t
prepared for—and
just as they figure it out, the child gets
older and everything changes again!
PARENTING IS
DEFINITELY NOT
FOR SISSIES!
