There is a word in Hebrew 'nachas' (the 'ch' pronounced as in Bach and not church) which technically means rest or lack or worry but what it means in common usage is seeing ones children succeed in life, be it marriages, work or anything else.
My daughter might only be 14 but in the two years she has taken the stage in the chorus of two high quality amateur dramatic shows; Wizard of Oz and Sister Act.
It is wonderful to see her confidence build and work so well with people much older than her.
A very proud Dad....one who is 'schlepping nachas'.

Both mine, 26 and 24, are grown up and living independently. Daughter is married and son lives with his girlfriend in Liverpool where they met at Uni..
She and hubby were in Plymouth for 5 years due his work. Son in law recently moved jobs and now works in Birkenhead. Daughter and he are lodging with his parents near Wrexham while house sales/purchases go through; her work means she's hot desking at site near Liverpool Airport.
Great to watch how mutually supportive Lad and his Sis are meeting for coffee before/after work etc.

a propos the OP.
I got a message yesterday from my daughter, saying she had just been offered a new job, and was going to take it. Interview was a couple of weeks ago; she kept schtum about it at the time.
No need to move house (in fact it is more accessible than her current job), and, though it is the SE, £55K pa plus bonus is not something you'd turn your nose up at, especially in your early 30's.
I'm proud of both my kids, and more than that, I also like them and find them good company. (I know it's easy to be blind about your own). They're very different characters, but both have managed to get on in their careers by hard work. Daughter in particular started out fairly low-down when she took a job quickly when she moved South to be with her partner (he is effectively "cemented" where he is). Managed to work her way up through various disciplines, and is pretty well paid where she is now anyway.
Always nice to see them progress.
