I am always telling people when they tell me I am doing a good job not to say that till I have gotten my child to a certain point. I say this I think out of a fear of jinxing the work I have done already…

When the child has reached their full level of maturity, when they are successful, and when they are happy. It’s kind of a mutual thing.
I don’t think it matters what point you get to. I always enjoy hearing that I am a good mom, and that I am doing a good job with my kids! If you are a good parent, you are a good parent!!! I think I am a good parent, and if people are telling you, you are, then you must be! Keep up the good work!!
Well take it as a compliment, I used to feel the same way. Then I realized that at the very moment I am doing all I can do to raise my children…I am a single mother of an 8 yr old son and I have custody of my 17 yr niece. I really strive to give them the best along with guidance and discipline. I get that all the time…My son is doing very well in school and my niece is a Sr. in High school and has a full Scholarship to college!! People just see that I am working my behind off for them…it is nice to see that my work is noticed!!!
Accept the compliments as they come. People are trying to bless you. Don’t take that away from them. If you are a God fearing man like your nickname would imply, then why are you believing that someone’s compliment will jinx you.
If ur kid/teen really loves n dosn’t have any problem with u n u r satisfied with him as a person….. than u are a successful parent
When they become adults, age 18 that have not been involved in the legal system, managed to gradute high school, and not had children of their own during their teenage years.
We all have one opportunity to make an impact on our children’s lives, make the best one possible.
