Parenting survey
Snagged from Cory
I would never:
Purposefully shame her.
I always:
Try to give lots of hugs, kisses and I love yous.
I got an easy ride when it came to:
How “portable” she’s been. She doesn’t have a strong need for strict routine, so we’ve been able to do lots of traveling.
The part I dislike most about parenting is:
The lack of sleep.
The part I love most about parenting is:
Not sure what I love the most!
My terrible parenting secret is:
In the worst of the sleep deprivation of infanthood (if you’ve never gone days on just a couple hours of sleep b/c of a crying babe, please don’t juge…), I’d sometimes wish one of us would die just so I could sleep and sleep.
I would describe my approach to discipline as:
Relaxed with the goal to guide my children in learning how to make the best decisions through guidance not intimidation/fear/threats. I don’t have a lot of strict boundaries but I strictly enforce the boundaries/rules we do have. And lots of GOYB (Get Off Your Butt parenting….making it happen.)
My worst parenting habit:
My short temper in the middle of the night when E is up for the third, fourth, eighth, tenth time…
The one thing I am really proud of is:
How I can take a deep breath and control myself when dealing with discipline issues.
I probably am too lenient when it comes to:
I hope my kids inherit my:
Love of laughter…and so far, it seems she has.
I hope my kids don’t inherit my:
Tend to use sarcasm, even kiddingly.
I love that my kids are:
Loving
The thing I miss most about my pre-mom days is:
The sleep!! And the quiet.
Motherhood is:
Something I didn’t realize how much I needed to do it until I was doing it.
