    When your kids are grown, the very idea that they want to hang out with you is an immense source of pride.

      My biggest actual goal with raising my kids. I wanna make sure they want to come home and hang. Okay, maybe second biggest after the obvious “making sure they’re an individual who is equipped to make sound decisions and care for themselves.”

        Keep your fridge stocked with their favorite stuff. The way to anyone’s heart is through the stomach.

        My dad stopped buying chocolate milk a few years ago and now they wonder why I don’t visit them as much. I’m 34 and chocolate milk is still a great incentive. Shit’s expensive.
