As a child my mother used to tell me she was the meanest mommy in the world. Whenever I would call her mean, she would just say "Yes, that's why they call me MOM. Mean Ol' Mom".
I know we all said we would never turn into our mothers, but then we find ourselves saying the same things they did. At what point did I turn into her? I guess when it's all said and done she must have known what she was doing, sometimes...
As the mother of three 'TWEEN' girls, I am trying to let other MOM's in on the mistakes that I have made so maybe they can try to learn from me. I also hope to pass on some of my limited knowledge on the things that turned out right and maybe you can share with me too. I know it takes a village, and I truly think we might not feel so lost and helpless if we have that village to turn to.
I am married to a wonderful man, who helps as only he can. I have a lovely mom and three sisters. My dad even gives his input when he thinks it is needed. ;) I think between all of us and my extensive family I might be able to answer questions, give input and just listen. I also will take all the free advice I can get from anyone out there who has a clue what TWEEN girls are thinking these days.
Bye for now.....ladybug;)
