"A sweet and obedient child will enroll a father or mother only in Parenting 101. If you are blessed with a child who tests your patience to the nth degree, you will be enrolled in Parenting 505. Rather than wonder what you might have done wrong in the premortal life to be so deserving, you might consider the more challenging child a blessing and opportunity to become more godlike yourself. With which child will your patience, long-suffering, and other Christlike virtues most likely be tested, developed, and refined? Could it be possible that you need this child as much as this child needs you?"Elder Lynn G. Robbins April 2011 Conference

Thanks! I needed to hear this quote.
I remember crying through that talk, feeling like it was just for me! So, so true!
I remember this exact quote when that talk was given because Danny and I looked at each other and said "Oh, so Ashley is just Parenting 505."
