[00:17:33] So I've never had a problem with my children telling me that I was mean, they knew that I was, and that every day I thought of three mean things to do to each one of them having three children, that's nine things. Okay. The second thing that I would say is on those days, when you're struggling, when it's a really hard day and you feel like, oh my gosh, I'm never going to get through this. [00:17:55] Remember two things. Try to find a word besides no. [00:18:00] And secondly, tomorrow they will be another day older and I'm like, I got three things. The third thing is there is a difference between liking and loving. You can not like your children and that is okay, but you will always love them. And if you say to them, Today. [00:18:19] I'm not liking you very much, but I will always love you. Then they will grow up understanding there is a difference and that's so important. That's so important that they know that no matter what you will love them. [00:18:33] J. Rosemarie: Always. Yes. Thank you.
