Ten Facts about Being a Parent
by Mary Katherine May

This list of 10 parenting facts is not scientific or backed with credentials of educational authority. It is opinion based upon personal experience. 

I would like to read lists from other parents of adult children.



1 Once a parent, always a parent. 
2 Death does not end being a parent. 

3 The most rewarding experience in a lifetime. 
4 The most heartbreaking experience in a lifetime. 
5 Being a parent means knowing that your heart can be broken over and over again and you will survive. 

6 Being a parent puts how much you trust God to take care of anything to the test. 
7 Knowing in hindsight what parenting involves and knowing that there is no regret. 

8 Being a parent means knowing that there are those so much more important than yourself that you would die for them and even kill to protect. 

9 Means moments bursting with pride. 
10 The greatest responsibility, impacting the future, you will ever have.
