I have tried to show my children more of the "real me" side. We have a big job, though. Fun is a luxury, so we do it in small ways. Coffee dates out. Tickle-cozies. Making silly pictures. It's all good. I'd rather be known for towing the line most of the time. And I know you as a mother--loving, selfless, and spirited. One of the best mothers I know, frankly, especially when I look at how hard you have worked to educate your children in the unique environments that their abilities and challenges have required.Catichehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05813866931373096957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1424897482223918570.post-74283169407532876412011-06-15T11:05:08.755-04:002011-06-15T11:05:08.755-04:00I would have to say that I am also a member of the...I would have to say that I am also a member of the un-fun club. In fairness, having 3 teens in a house can certainly get the best of anyone. <br /><br />After reading your post, I realize that I also come from a long line of un-fun parents. I am willing to bet that we make up the majority in parenting.<br /><br />My husband often remarks that I have two modes; one he calls "mommy mode" and the other is the "real" side of me that comes out when it's just the two of us. I don't think the children would take me seriously if they saw my naturally carefree side. :)cobb529https://www.blogger.com/profile/06309520404307257858noreply@blogger.com
