Yes, Mother. I can see you are flawed. You have not hidden it. That is your greatest gift to me.

How great would it be for our children to see that we are flawed.  I want my daughter to know that I don't know everything, but that I can learn.  I can't do everything, but it will get done (even if I have to pay someone to do it!)

I love this one! 

My kids see my flaws all the time and I do not hesitate to admit them and ask forgiveness. It has led to a great relationship with all of them!!! How sad for the kids who dont really get to "know" thier parents!

Good quote! My one flaw I don't let show around her is my crying and I don't know why. I guess I want her to see me as strong? Bad thinking on my part, but I'm trying to get over it. Ha.

 It's good they learn that at a young age.
