I'd like to think I have been a better parent than my father was at showing them my love and support, but I am afraid that isn't saying much. Like your husband I lived through my son's baseball. I was even one of the few dads who attended the parents' meetings for my daughter's pon p*m squad. When my other daughter one the regional spelling bee I yelled yes so loud the whole auditorium turned to look at me. Maybe these are all just a vicarious form of narcissistic validation also.
