I admire my lover so much for his parenting skills.  He is a fabulous father and he spends a lot of time fathering his children.  Every opportunity he gets, he heads outside to play with them.  It's just a joy to know.  He inspires me to be a great and fun mother and to do things with my children too.  I can't wait for the weather to warm up more so I can do more fun things with them.

It touches my heart when Brogan tells me I am a good mother.  It means a lot coming from him because of how much I admire him as a parent.  I know that he often suffers from self-doubt and feels he should be doing more, but I know that his children are incredibly lucky.  He is an inspiration for me to be even better.

A positive effect, indeed.
