For ten years, I have tried to fulfill the "mom" role in their lives.
I've tried to teach them about fashion.
I've tried to teach them about modesty and about biblical manhood/womanhood.
I've tried to make dental hygiene a priority.
I've tried to encourage them to stand out in a crowd and not try to be like everyone else.
I've taught them to have good table manners...
...to always stay clean and neat...
...and to never fall for practical jokes.
I require total attention to schoolwork...
...and I've also tried to encourage an interest in politics, particularly during the historic event of the election of President Obama.
And last but not least, I require that the children at least TRY to get along.

And on a more serious note, I'd just like to say that it has been a blessing to have the privilege of mothering these two. God knew that they would need me when their mother walked out... and that I would need them years later when my son moved out.
