He said he wanted to tell me how helpful my son was.
What was the reason why he wanted you to know that.
No, it's because my son is really helpful!
You know your son well, and that is a good thing. You raised him well and you are proud of it, keep at it. There are many kids out there who could use a good parent like yourself.
Thank you!
Being proud of your child is expected. Have you thought about rewarding him for his good behavior? I'm sure he'd appreciate that.
