How will YOUR kids remember YOU?

This is a spin-off of the thread about our mommas......

How do you think your own children will describe you when you're dead and gone??

My kids are so far apart in age, each will have a completely different POV, I think.

Here's what I think each one would say:

Oldest: She was much more strict on me than on my 2 younger brothers [true, but I've apologized]. She used to be so beautiful and so much fun that even guys half her age wanted to date her. She really loved life when I was a kid. Everyone just loved being around her and our house was always full of fun and life, until my stepdad died. It was like the life was just s^cked out of her. She gave up on life and on herself. She aged really fast after that.

Middle: Compared to most of my friends' moms, she was OK. She was pretty laid back about most stuff. Didn't really know her that well, but I know she missed my dad alot.

Youngest: I never knew Mom when she was "fun, cute", etc. She was always old and out of shape, kept to herself alot. I guess she was sad.

How about you?
