Zachary. One of my very favorite people. He is 6 and is totally self sufficient. He dresses himself. He gets his own breakfast. He can do EVERYTHING all by himself. Tonight he was dishing out his own icecream and I asked him if he needed me for anything. After a few seconds of very deep thought, this is what he said.
"I need to you for spelling words. But I won't need you for very much longer."
I want to raise independent kids that can fend for themselves and can think on their own. But, I really need to be needed. I know my kids want my help, but they really don't NEED it. In the end, I guess it is my fault but I really thought I would have more than six years with Zach.
