Expectations of Own Kids.

I am a mother of five kids. I retired as a principal of a Govt. Inter College. I brought up my children with my limited resources and as a working mother. Our is a single family, as my in-laws or my parents couldn't come to live with us due to other major reasons. I tried my best that my kids grow up with a positive attitude towards life. I mean to say that being a teacher I tried to mould them as a a good citizen with complete personality. I tried to be their friend, guide and every thing at the need of hour. Though I was a working woman, I sacrificed my all other social gatherings and social network, except those which were very necessary for a family person. I & my husband always live away from my kins in far-off places of my own permanent place due to being a givernment servant of another state. One can imagine all probable problems & difficulties, which we faced duing long span of life of my struggle with growing of my children. We faced them bravely and now I have no grudge for them.
Now at this stage my all five children are grown-up amd happily married with their children. They are in good economical position, at least in my comparison, which gives me remendous satisfaction.
Now the question arises whether they call us a good parents or not. But I am of confirm view that I can't be called a successful person till last day of my earthly life. I think that I did best of my ability to my children, but many other parents may be far better than me. If you judge a person by their children's academic ability, you can give me positive marks.
Now remaining years of my life are to be spend with satisfaction or not, it depends on Lord Sai.
Only He will do divine justice. Now at this age I just want to repeat His name continually.
