Questions of the week.
1) What makes you a special mom to your kids?
This year, I put together a homeschool program for my DS (with help from my parents). He has high functioning autism and his public school placement was making him so much worse. To be a single, working mom, I really never thought homeschool would be an option for us. But, it became absolutely necessary for me to do so. It was homeschool or see my DS get worse and worse. I am proud to say that he is doing very well with the homeschool and he's beginning to realize his full intellectual capabilities (he's extremely bright).
2) What makes you a special gf (if you don't have a bf right now, just list what makes you special)?
I love my SO's teenagers. Anything I would do for my child, I would do for his.
I guess what makes me a good mom is that i want to know everything that is going on with my kids....from what they are looking at on the internet to who their friends are. I always want to know everything i can so that i know what they are doing...if possible.
what makes me a good gf....hmmm. the fact that i love to hold his hand and be with him. i love making him smile and watching his eyes light up at something i have said or did for him. i love letting him sleep in my lap after working all night at his job. or just kissing him when he seems down.
1) What makes you a special mom to your kids? I listen and I respect them. In return, they are pretty self disciplied and respectful themselves- unusual for teens. They also still talk to me a lot. My tiny girl I just love, and she loves me back.
2) What makes you a special gf (if you don’t have a bf right now, just list what makes you special)? I build him up,try to bring out the best in him. I accept him faults and all.
I am a special mom because I really feel I have a good relationship with my son. I feel that I balance "pushing him to his full potential" with "giving him an easy positive life." And I am also able to give him many things I did not have.
As for me being a good gf - I am waiting for the one to appreciate me for all I have to offer - that I am adventurous, fit, fun loving and a great cook and mom.
Tonight I attended one of my sporting Xmas parties. I was proud of myself that I really worked to circulate the room and talk to everyone instead of just staying in my comfort zone and talking to beloved friends.
The most hilarious thing happened. This older guy approached me who I know from way back and don't like any more than just a friend. But for some reason he started interviewing me like I was on a speed date. I kept trying to leave and go to the food buffet. He wanted to know what I do for work. Then where I live (which is far away from him but he commented he liked the area) then when he found out I had a kid he said the age of my son is too hormonal. HUH? My DS is 10 and a real sweetee. And that guy would NOT have had a snowball's chance. I felt like kicking him in the shins. I think he is the eternally shallow single type. Whatever!! Other than that I had a fun time talking to a lot of people. But no interest in anyone other than JustFriends there. And that is okay.
1) What makes you a special mom to your kids? - i am stable, in her world or CRAZINESS with her father. She knows *I* am the one she can count on, ALWAYS.
ROFL R... you actually beat me to my own answer...... ROFL!!!!!!!!!!
Why I am a good mom: I try to maintain a stable home for my boys. Try to have a balance of discipline that will hopefully have them grow up into responsible men who will be aware of the people around them and not self-centered. And balance that with fun and goofy things that help to keep them kids as long as they can be, while they still can be.
Why I am a good girlfriend: I try to be understanding of him and his point of view. I am open to doing anything, whether it be something dressy and formal, or just hiking in the rocks somewhere, all grundgy. I don't talk forever. I love watching sports with him (I even watch sports WITHOUT him-lol). And, I also give one hell of a blow job (and I know my Hiker-man loves it). :-)

Oh you wild girls, you just crack me up. Personally, I think being good at alternative sexual exploits is a minimum standard for a good girlfriend- but the guy better be good at reciprocating. LOL
My boys appreciate my stability, and say so. I was about 15 min late one time picking up S18 (when he was 9 or 10)and he totally freaked out. When I said I was surprised since he's never reacted that way when his dad is late he said" I expect Dad to be late, he's ALWAYS late, but you are ALWAYS on time or even early. I thought something must have happened to you." He now understands mom is not perfect. My daughter just takes my stability for granted. She is totally taken in by the Disneyland Dad behavior.
Oh yes, QB... it is very well reciprocated, too. :-)
