Yep, my two give me the odd headache but I never have to worry about them not getting up and going to work, they both have an exceptional work ethic and it's something we're both proud of. You don't get everything right as a parent but the important wins are best when they're the important things in life.
Morals. Work ethic etc.
I can put up with the headaches from my 3 at home, if it means they do the right thing in public.
I think my proudest moment, in a roundabout way, was the lad about 5 years ago ( he was 24 ish ) got in a bit of a dust up in the Cas.
A mate of a mate was lurking around a hens show and made it clear he was, for want of a better term, targeting the weakest / drunkest of the herd to take advantage of her state. The boy had none of it. Called him out and got into a blue, kicked out the cas and arrived home steam coming out the ears at around 3am. When he told me what happened, couldn't have been prouder. Did the right thing.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.
If you want to go far, go together.
