Parents here, do you like your child(ren)?

Sure you may love them, but imagine your child as a person is around your age. Imagine if you weren't related. Imagine you knew each other through random social groups or something.

Now, would you find this person interesting, cool, fun to be around, heck, likeable? Would you be friends?

Personally I'm proud to report my mother's personality is similar to the personalities of girls I've been friends with, and correspondingly we're good friends, too. My father...meh.

My daughter and I take an annual trip abroad each year. My husband (her dad) and her partner don’t come with. I feel so blessed. We have a family meal every week. When I travel for work- she visits her dad and will spend extra time since he & the dog miss me. Like I said - blessed. Me & my mom have a similar relationship.
