I'm proud of my child no matter what she does - so yes, I was also proud when my LO started walking. Probably silly to feel that, but equally not very nice to put someone down for being proud of their own child. It's not a question of achievement or reflected glory, it's just something you feel (at least some people do).


Am sure some parents whose little ones were very ill at birth were also proud (and grateful) of their LO breathing...

I've heard repeatedly that boys are lazy from family members and that boys are are slower to reach milestones! This was mostly from family to be fair. The OP's post didn't surprise me at all.


Also, I agree its natural to be proud of each milestone. While most kids fortunately do eventually get there, for each child its a journey involving hard work and effort and seeing them accomplish these initial life steps seems miraculous rather than mundane (whenever it happens). It's really no different to proud parents at a wedding. It never really stops...

Also, Otta, being proud of others is synonymous (according to merriam webster) with: causing someone to feel very happy and pleased. When I think of the term "proud grandparents" etc, that's what its always meant to me. Just another way to say very happy.

Otta if you are not proud of your children i find that really sad , I'm am proud of everything my little boy does even when he does something he shouldn't I'm proud he says sorry and I'm proud of myself for feeling I'm doing a good job in that is is happy and healthy ,


Thank you to thoes of you with kind words :)

    • he's not on the general radar - not with the Labour tax scandal and the new Tories wanting to buddy up with Starmer (on their terms). if anything, he's a irrelevant distraction from some real alarms
    • Let me rephrase this He does not seem to be personally bothered by the impact he has.  Rather than immune from somebody taking action against him.  Although the bar had to be raised and raised before anyone did anything, and there are still those in his party who think it was wrong to get rid of him. He delivered a poor Brexit so didn't get that right.  He didn't believe in it, in the first place, he was just getting one up on his chum Dave.
    • 1. No he's not, he made a pigs ear of things, his leadership was poor and his behaviour was unbecoming of the highest office in the land.  2. No they don't,  he was a prime buffoon 3. Not a messiah, in no way. He caused great damage to both the Party and Country after three years of differing by May. The only thing he completed was B  r  e  x  i  t.  Are we paying the price. Don't ask me, I was in an induced coma at the time, fighting for my own life.    
    • My comment is trying to not take any political side but rather be objective on what I see, hear and read. If the Government made a positive difference to people's lives, people would be pro this Govt, but sadly the majority don't see an improvement since they have been in Office, but rather the opposite so people's opinions of the Government are poor.  I think if you did a straw poll of users on here, the result for those in favour of the Government is likely to be unfavourable, but I may be totally wrong, quite possible. No one I speak or am in contact with has a single good word to say about the current Administration. In fact the calls for a General Election just become stronger and stronger.
