How to be a better mom
It made me
bring it, baby
 "I decided to trust myself, be myself and BRING IT, ya know."
How I did it: I cook, I clean, I'm always there, I nag, I worry, I strive to do better, I brag, I boast, I fight for, I side with, talk to, overprotect, joke with. I'm a good mom, but I guess I always was :) Lessons & tips: BRING IT, baby! Resources: My husband, oh yah, and the kids. The dog provides a lot of inspiration, and the cats are my sages.

How I did it: Loved them unconditionally and hope that they will in turn love others the same... I accepted my children when they had children, went to jail, made poor decisions and just totally messed up. Of course I let them know the consequences of what they were doing and let them believe that they were right, but when the outcome was what I had warned them about, I didn't do the 'I told you so', I just asked that they remember how they… Read how I did it…

How I did it: Let's see...we started scouts, took up wrestling (which he hated!), soccer (they both LOVE it), church. It's made a huge difference with my son. He has ADHD and was dealing with anger issues associated with my ex-husband. I went through a VERY rough divorce and ended up worrying that I was proccupied with alcohol and neglecting my kids a bit when it came to leading a good example.

They are worth it

I am 35 years old and I have three kids who are almost all grown up now( 20, 16 and 13). In fact, I have a 19 month old grandson as well. Of course I would love to go back in time and change all the mistakes that I made, which made my children suffer. I know I can’t do that but the thing is that I am also having trouble changing the present. I always make the same stupid mistakes over and over again. I don’t know how to deal with ANYTHING….in a healthy way at least.My kids have always been the ones to pay the price. Lord knows I don’t deserve them….but none the less I love them and they are mine. I need strength, if not for me…..for them.

Dara Corinne is my everything, but I know I need to improve my mothering skills for her. Do I let her get away with too much? Yes. Is she spoiled? Absolutely. But maybe I just need to accept that I am a good mom, not a perfect mom?

I feel like I’m becoming a better parent but I know I haven’t always been there for my kids. I guess it’s never too late.

OK, so it seems that most of my time I spend with my 5 year old daughter consists of the following: Teaching her how to spell, asking her addition and subtraction questions, playing various board and card games with her, taking her to the park, having picnics, watching movies, taking her to hockey games (that is MY addiction) and reading to her…so why do I feel like I am such a bad mom? Is it because I work full time? Is it because I need one night a week away from being mommy?

Focus

I need to slow myself down and think more often. I react too quickly and too much instead of paying attention to the situation.
I would like to take the time to ask myself – what do they need from me right now? How can I help them?

My daughter is a little mini-me. She repeats everything I say in the tone I say it. It is like looking into a mirror. She especially likes the disapproving comments and sass. It is a hard lesson to learn and I need to correct it pronto.
I made a few fun projects this week and I thought I was patient while letting them help me cook. Baby steps…
Progress

The best way to teach them is to provide an example. I am focused today on being the best person I can be.
More patience. Less frustration.
Maybe a walk after their nap. Fresh air always makes us happy :)
