My 17-year-old daughter (the one that was screaming profanity at me earlier this week) said this to me last night: "I don't know if I've told you this already or not, but thank you." [i]For what? [/i]I asked. "For quitting smoking. You have no idea how much it meant to me that you quit smoking." Kids - they have the capacity to truly amaze.

Lady & Laughing, kids catch you off guard & say the sweetest things. Your kids comments are so genuine & that's why I love little kids, they tell it like it is. My son is 16 now, so he's outgrown his 'You are the best Mum in the world' or ' You are the most beautiful Mum in the world' but he has told me lately that he's proud of me for quitting. WOW, I have the admiration of a teenager. HA, didn't think that was possible. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 4/2/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 40 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,010 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $324.4 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 4 [B]Hrs:[/B] 6 [B]Mins:[/B] 44 [B]Seconds:[/B] 20

Happy Mother's Day to all our Smoke Free Moms!!!! As a mom, the best compliments on changes since quitting have come from my children. What are some of the things your kids have said since you quit? I have a couple that quickly come to mind. 1. Early in my quit, I was yelling like a lunatic at the kids, they were looking at me like I was insane. I said "Wouldn't you guys rather I smoke than yell and be like this?" These little people said "Yell away Lady! Just don't smoke" 2. My son, stepson, and I were all at the beach. I was in the water with them, which I rarely did (can't smoke in the ocean) and these two boys looked at me and said I was prettier since I quit smoking. This comment came out of no where! The greatest one of all??? My 5 year old doesn't even remember his mom smoking!!!!!!! How about some of the rest of you smoke free mom's? What do your kids say about you???
