But when I have a weeping 7-year-old in my bed at 3:30 in the morning who says, "Daddy, you're a better Mommy than Mommy," I find it difficult not to care about the fact that I can't control it -- know what I mean?
Maybe there is some solace in the fact that your kids feel comfortable enough to express that to you. It is a bittersweet tribute to your parenting.
