I’m not voting yet, and don’t want to elaborate on what triggered the question yet.
The last option is supposed to be “Really, you couldn’t think of other options?” —Why did I not preview the poll?
I went with “Proud” but yeah, you need some “it’s complicated” variations.
My son is autistic. I am proud of him every day, with occasional doses of frustration, exhaustion, and an overwhelming awareness of my own inadequacies. My daughter is awesome, and anxious, and worried, and brilliant and beautiful. I am proud of her every day, with occasional doses of worry, frustration, exhaustion and an overwhelming awareness of my own inadequacies.
I’d like some sleep and a housekeeper. Maybe a governess.
Overall, yes, so, so proud. Every second - have you been a parent? 
You didn’t have an option for “Hell Yeah!”, so I chose the top one. I’m one of those parents – the kind you hate talking to at parties. 
A few examples:
I’ve enjoyed a reception for the Van Cliburn piano participants where my daughter was invited to play (background piano for the event, not a competitor). She was 17.
Once, while sitting in my airline seat the Captain walked back and said: “Dad, I moved you up to first class.” He was 26.
I could go on for pages about them. They’re amazing.
My kids have scared me, disappointed me, inspired me, and taken my breath away. Sure I’m proud if them.
This.
And this.
And especially this.
Man, oh man, am I dying to make a United joke here.
Posts #3, #4, and #5 all express elements of how I feel about my complicated, exhausting, but ultimately very wonderful kid. So yeah…proud parent here!
I lied. My daughter has become a terrific person and a great teacher, even tho she’s come to hate teaching because of the crap that gets in the way of instruction. But it’s not *all *great. Sometimes I wish she’d made different decisions, but it’s not my life, it’s hers, and I keep reminding myself that. She’s a kind, compassionate woman, smart, talented, responsible… So, yeah, definitely proud.
Why would I be proud of my children, just because one is a decorated combat vet who is on the Dean’s list, or the other who graduated summa cum laude, got promoted at her job, and just bought her first house?
I could, and have been known to, go on at enormous length about their virtues and achievements, and will at the slightest opportunity. I used to worry about being excessive on the subject, but I asked my mother (their grandmother), and she assured me that, in the case of my children/her grandchildren, it was OK, because it was all true and they really are uniquely smart, beautiful, and charming. And no one argues with my mother.

No superstars like others above, but all 3 seem reasonably happy, pursuing careers in their desired fields, economically self sufficient, pursuing hobbies they enjoy.
None have been in jail, addicted to drugs/ETOH, run up huge debt…
Eldest is a youth librarian, married, homeowner, and mother of my wonderful 2 yr old granddaughter. Lives 10 minutes away, so we see them often (but not TOO often!)
Second is an aero engineer working in Denver. Has his first SF novel with a publisher, and has been growing an RP game. Seems to be in a positive, potentially longterm relationship.
Youngest just moved to Orange County to be w/ her longtime BF. Got a job in her field - genetics, 10 minutes from where they live. Loves rockclimbing and working out.
Got one kid nearby, and 2 in wonderful places to visit. And best of all, they accomplished all of this despite having the likes of my wife and me as parents/role models! Perhaps most important, despite my wife and I both being lawyers, there’s NOT A LAWYER AMONG THEM! 
What’s not to be proud of?
Life is good. indeed!
Damned proud. 
They’re far from perfect, and getting my daughter to complete highschool was a massive pain in the ass, but I look at them - the young woman and the almost-teenage boy, and I’m seriously impressed with their maturity, judgement, and basic human decency. They’ll make mistakes, but I’m not afraid that they’re going to be making any catastrophic errors of judgement.
She’s only six, but I’m crazy proud. She’s smarter than me.
The girl adults better than I do. I’m in awe of her.
The boy struggles, but he’s had more than his share of hardships. And he always handles things better than I think he will.
I’m proud and grateful things have turned out okay so far. Parenting’s a wringer.
I have two boys and one girl and am proud of all 3. I am blessed with love and great kids,
Hey, I’ll add this, one son recently had his picture on the cover of the Arts section of the NY Times!
My little guy is turning 3 in a couple of weeks, and I show him off every chance I get. His extended family adores him.
I’ve bugged the wife enough to bring him into the office this afternoon (Friday afternoon)! There are lots of coworkers who enjoy bouncing him on their knee and hearing words he’s learned. He’ll hug every one of them as if they’re aunts and uncles, too.
Shut the fuck up, that’s awesome!
Totally proud of all three. They were easy to raise, finished 2nd, 1st, and 1st in their HS classes, got financial aid for college, are now happily married (for 25 years, 21 years, and 13 years) and have excellent careers. Six terrific grandchildren (sadly, there will be no more), the oldest of whom will graduate from college in June. Yes, it was quite a ride, but I will die happy about it.
My four-year-old let the dentist look at his teeth without biting. I’m grateful for the little victories.
They’re both great, for totally different reasons. Terrific kids.
Of course I’m biased. But the truth is, most people are pretty cool, and most people were once kids, so most kids are great. My kid’s friends all seem like pretty good kids, too. Their parents should be proud of them.
