My son's best friend is over for the afternoon. Overheard from O's room:
E: Your mom is so nice.
O: Yeah, my mom is pretty great, isn't she? She's the best mom in the world.
E: My mom's not that great.
*pause*
O: I'm not sure your mom would like to hear that.
Isn't that awesome? And do you see how compassionate my boy is? *cuddles the boy* (And, really, E's mom is a perfectly nice woman.)
I'm about to leave the full-time stay-at-home mommy business behind for the foreseeable future, and it's a great feeling to leave the job with good reviews.

Especially when you know the reviews will get worse as they get older, through no fault of your own.
