What two things make me a good mom? I give my kids every opportunity I can (classes, museums, camps, workshops, etc.) I'm involved in their school life but not too much.

What two things would I change about my parenting? I'm impatient and I'm a perfectionist

What two things do I treasure most? Our keyboard/piano, because dd and I practice together every day, and my church community/faith.

1. I am a good mother because i always make sure i have time to listen to my kids. I have found this to be especially important when we are angry with each other. I have taught my girls good values and to be independent and free thinkers.

2. Sometimes i could be a little more rigid with certain things like keeping their rooms tidy and helping out around the house. Whenever i have PMS i raise my voice alot and my patience is very thin.

3. I treasure the talks i have with my mother and my children. I also treasure my alone time.

The fact that like some other critters I haven't ate my young yet...bwaaahaaa. According to DH I'm good at keeping track of details like the girls activities, remembering school functions & always willing to contribute $$ if not baked goods ;-) I also enjoy taking the girls out to do things like amusement parks, water parks, sporting events, etc. I also try to plan ahead a lot which drives DH nuts because he's definitely a fly by the seat kinda guy. So he balances me out, making me relax on scheduling. I also like to know what's going on in the girls lives so ask ?? about their friends, teachers, etc.

I have no patience anymore so I tend to scream to let out tension I think. Want to remain calmer more often esp after a crappy day at work when both girls are vying for my attention. Let DH take over more often ;-)

2 things that make you a good mother:


I'm very in tune with my kids feelings and thoughts and have always allowed them to express those freely. I make time for them and they know they are very important to me.


2 things I wish I could improve on:


I over indulge them with all that I lacked as a child. I get angry and make harse punishments that don't fit the crime sometimes.
