Speaking for myself alone, I was more judgmental and less understanding of parenting until I became one.

Not everyone. But some.

And someone who judges a parent for being involved in hobbies with their kid? They are part of that some.

My mom does paint by numbers all the time and she literally frames them and hangs them around the house. lol! They actually turn out quite beautiful and you really can't tell they are paint by numbers. When I asked her what she wanted for Christmas last year, she told me to pick out a paint by number I like and she would paint it for me. I got Country Living by Thomas Kinkade. She has already finished it and gave it to me on Mothers Day. It turned out quite nice! Now I just have to get it matted and framed. aww

I paint, draw, but Caitlyn is much better at it than I am.

Actually, all my kids can draw.

Finding ways to stay connected, especially as they, kids, get older is important.

Like any other relationship, it grows with nurture and shared experiences.
