parenting

It's a funny thing. I have no idea what I'm doing Lol but I try my darndest . There are a million books and theorys on how to and you shoulda... I had a discussion with my 5yr old after overreacting and loudly yelling about I was sorry and that this is the first time I've ever been a mommy. She looked and me, confused and said really? I said everyone makes mistakes, even me. I figure as long as a person realizes when they do and can learn from it- that's really a tool for life, right? There are too many parents that think they have it all right and out themselves on a pedastool above their kids, I believe that's not fair. Of course there has to be authority over your children but their is a distinct difference. The whole goal is to lead them to be productive adults that are instilled with morals and values...right? :)
