Many
moons ago my work colleagues and I had a discussion about parenting and what kind of mums we would be. Some said
that I would be strict, others suggested that I would be loving and
caring.
But
what do I think?! From what I can remember as a child my
mum was loving and strict at the same time. I wasn't allowed to cross
the road alone, I wasn't allowed to leave the
playground which was in front of our house, but at the same time when
and if I had problems she was always sorting them out for me, was
there for me when I was poorly, I guess as any parent would. But I
think there were more “DON'Ts” than “DOs” in our
relationship.
I'm
100% sure that I will be strict, overprotective not that I want to,
but I was a child myself and by nature I would try to
protect my daughter, even though deep down I know she would need to
make them in order to learn and do things differently next time.
I
know, I know I'm ahead of myself, firstly we will have a small bundle
of joy, and I would like to be:
- Caring
- Loving
- Relaxed
- Fun
- Enthusiastic
- Patient
- Calm
- Protective
- Supportive
- Happy
- Positive
What
kind of mum/parent you want (ed) to be?
