Every single day I walked my 5 year old to class at his insistence. Today he told me he didn’t need me to. I never thought about this part of being a parent, the part where they won’t need you anymore. It’s heartbreaking.

I know he still needs me, but slowly the things he needs me for, he will do for himself. It’s sad, but at the same time I’m proud of him and the person he’s growing up to be. It also shows me that at least I’m doing some things right! via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2zIq6BO
