This reminds me of my brother💜 he doesn’t remember lots of things but I love to tell him stories about when he was small. There’s over a decade between us and so our childhoods and lives are very different. But when he did a parenting style assignment for his class he told me wrote “about how I raised him”. He told classmates that he doesn’t really remember our parents raising him, he remembers me. And that makes every second I spent being more responsible than I should have had to be absolutely worth it.

#like our parents were present married the whole shebang#but my dad didn’t start actively parenting until my brother was 12 and playing sports#and my mom loves him to bits he’s her favorite by a wide margin#but she was dealing with my sisters medical stuff#and just having four kids in general#so a lot of the teaching and manners and how tos got left to me#and quite frankly I saw my parents getting lazy and losing standards and I wasn’t having that#but I showered him in love too#for every timer on video game time and empty the dishwasher first#there was cuddles and stories and tucking into bed#watching his favorite movie for the nine hundredth time#Mac n cheese and brownies#chocolate chip cookies and treats from 7/11
