Earlier today, I was leaving comments on Robin's blog, and it got me thinking...What kind of mom am I?
Let's see here, I'm the kind of mom who:
-Let's her kids switch seats in the booth by ducking under the table
-Routinely says, "Suck it up," when her kids are whining about nothing
-Laughs often, when trying to discipline. Really, if you can't beat them, then you should definitely laugh.
-Gives her kids a few chances to be "wrong" before she shows them what is "right"
-Believes that if another child hits/pinches/bites my kid, mine has all the right in the world to fight back
-Tattle-taling is something that kids should be punished for. Unless the end result could be death, you better figure it out yourself.
-Whining is just as offensive as being a tattle-tale
-Will still hold my kids on my lap when they're 30-years old--they will always be my babies
-Spoils these kids rotten with my love.
They're not all bad, right?

About Me
- stewbie2
- My name is Stephanie, but you may call me "stewbie." I live in the thriving metropolis of Houston, Tx., and from my loins have sprung two beautiful baby girls--Jenna and Claire. I'm not mean, but I am horribly sarcastic. I consider it a gift. I work full-time as Social Media expert/Digital Marketing director, edit on the side, and am usually at the gym or the theatre--pick one. Although I have a BA and MLA in Literature, I still use serial commas and sometimes, I use the semicolon incorrectly. Oh, and I also have a hairless cat. His name is "Tito."

I think you sound like a great mom! I think when I have kids my style will be much the same.
I see nothing wrong with you.
I agree with everything you posted and that is how I handle Erin.
How can I resist when she says mommy, i want to snuggle with you.
no wonder she goes to bed later that 8:30
Sounds like you got it right...
Bingo, girlfriend.
Not all bad.
I think tattle-taling might be worth listening to on occasion. If a child has been wronged, they need justice to prevail. However, if it isn't anything that is unfair to them, then perhaps it's not so necessary.
But good luck getting them to sit on your lap as adults ;)
