What is one parenting skill you would pass on to all new mothers?

Are you a strict, semi-strict, or non-strict mommy?

What is one thing that your mommy taught you that you want to be able to teach your children?

What is one thing your mom did that you DON'T want to do?


What is one thing that you hope your children learn from you?

On skill that I think all new parents need to learn is patience. They don;t come with a learners manual and it is all trial and error.

I am not as strict as I would like to be bc of the custody situation but my friend Sue tells me I am. Like last night Sam was being snotty and rude and fighting with Logan and I was on the phone with Sue. I was calmly telling her to go to her room ect. Sue was like "WOW you did that wonderfuly. I would have been screaming at her"



My Mom taught me something I am putting into use now. She never bad mouthed my fahter in front of us. She figured we would figure it out on our own and we did. No matter how much I would love to let the kids know all that he is doing to me now and done in the past I will not jade thier relationship with thier dad by telling them.


On the flip side my mother was very neglectful of us. I was doing my own laundry and making my own meals by age 7. She was never around.

I hope my children will learn to respect others, treat them as you would like to be treated, and grow up to be loving thoughtful adults.

When your kids do not want to try a new food do you make them, try to talk them into it, or just let it go?

Were you a really nervous, cautious, going overboard sometimes mommy with your first child? Or did you just go with the flow and not stress about the small things?

Duct tape is the cure all for all of life's problems

I try to get them to take atleast one bit and if they don;t like it then fine.

I pretty much went with the flow with Samantha. I was young. With Logan I freaked over everything bc he lost over a pound in the first few days. THen he got sick. Now I don;t worry so much.

Well I obviously need to go buy a big roll of duct tape then!

Do you let the kids have candy whenever they want?

What about sodas?

Do you ever want to have another kid?

Would you adopt?

BUy the tape in buly

I do not let them have candy or soda when they want. they have to earn it. Infact I don;t let Logan have soda at all.

I can;t have anymore I am fixed lol. I would consider adoption if I could afford it.

When the kids act up in publinc I talk sternly to them and and count to get thier attention. It has never been bad enough but if I had to I would just leave where we were.

We have a routine. In the am they have to get ready for the day, of course I get Logan ready, then if ther eis time I will let them turn the tv on. after school, work it is dinner, clean up, play then bath teeth jamies and then bed.
