Would you be proud of a painting your child had done for you?

Question

If they were only 18 months old, and it was only the second time. Or would you "not walk down the street holding that," and decide to take it when you could get a lift?

Answer 1

of course I would be proud of it. I used to put all my son's drawings up on the refrigerator with a little magnet that said "Look what I did" Some of the better ones or ones made for special occasions I scrapbooked.

Answer 2

I am proud of anything my Son does and he is 19.I loved his pictures from nursery school.

Being proud is all very well but it means nothing unless you tell them you are.

Yes! If I had a child that is. I'd think it was incredibly sweet that they had painted a picture for me and I'd show it off to anyone who'd look.

Answer 13

my cat got sick in my work sketch once,  it was a proud moment indeed...  

Answer 14

Any Mom who is not proud of her children's art work is not a very good Mom.  I still have some of my children's first attempts at art work and my youngest is 33.  I also treasure the pictures my grandchildren have drawn just for Grandma.

Answer 15

I have framed my eldest's first painting (he's 23 now and a web designer) and if you look at it kinda sideways it almost looks like a man in a spacesuit !, but maybe that's the mum in me wanting to see a thing of beauty in a truly chaotic work of art. I loved it at the time (he was 1 yr old) and would have walked down the road telling everyone I met 'look - isn't this just fantastic !!!'

Answer 16

strange question - but to answer the first part - I was proud of every piece of work my children/grandchildren did. I am proud of them in all ways

Answer 17

That's awful of course i would be proud of the painting and i would definately walk down the street holding it!!

Answer 18

No.

The paintings children make are usually ****.

Answer 19

Any parent would be proud and not only that, they would want to show the child their pride, and how much they valued their effort.

Anyone who can't think of the child's feelings should feel so guilty!!!

Answer 20

Im proud of everything my son has drawn for me!

I was so proud the first time he wrote his name on his own that i got his exact writing tattooed onto my forearm so its there forever its my fave tat and i love it!

Answer 21

Ok if i get this right.......

He's a d**k and not even worth wasting 5 points over.

10 dtg - find someone else :)

Answer 22

I am now a granny and was always proud of what my children produced.  I am proud of my grandchildren's attempts also.

Answer 23

Eh??? that makes absolutely no sense AT all!!

Answer 24

very proud! now and always.

Answer 25

I still have the picture my son drew of me when he was just 3. It has pride of place on my landing wall!

I might wait before walking down the street with it if it was raining hard and it would get spoiled but that would be the only reason, so sad.

Answer 26

If I had children, I would probably clutch my chest and well up with pride and then fall on the floor.

Answer 27

I would proudly take it with me and I would most likely stop everyone I saw just to show them how wonderful the painting was. You should see my kitchen......it has been completely re-decorated in pictures my Daughter has done for me.

Answer 28

I would be very proud  and touched.

Answer 29

I would never refuse to carry one of my children's paintings, especially one done by such a small child. I would be proud and encouraging. We have a wall in our back room devoted to the kids pictures, they may not be Picasso's but they are still something to be proud of!

Answer 30

Of course I would be proud!  My parents always adored my artwork.  I'm 19 now and my dad still has pictures I drew/painted for him when I was a toddler hanging in his office!  : )
