Definition of a bad mom

[Dorseybell]

No, there's nothing else going on right now in his life.  The good thing is I'm pretty tuned into his life.  He and I manage to have some really good talks a lot of the time. 

He and I are actually on polite speaking terms right now.  I think his main problem is puberty.

Of course, now that he and I are peachy keen, I'm afraid of what stunt my daughter is about to pull.

Good job!!!

THat's the problem with some parents out there.  They want to be their kids "friend" and don't follow through on their threats/punishments.  Then the kids end up running the show.

You are a Great Mom for seeing it all the way through!!!  Despite what your kid says!

I read somewhere that when our kids told us that we are the worst mom ever,it means a job well-done!

I only have a toddler but when I have to get stern with him it does bother me to a certain point.  But then I think to myself, "Do I really want a rebellious teen running around in another 10 years?" I think not.  So my husband and I chugg along in correcting bad behavior now hoping later it all pays off.  Wish us luck! Because he is stubborn and well he got it honestly from both of his parents.
