No one likes discipline, and I don't like enforcing it. My problem is that I want the kids to like me...but I'm going to have to get over my issues. Being responsible for someone means they won't like you all of the time. The marshmallow in me has to die!
Tomorrow the boys will be gone for a while in the afternoon for a play date with one of their friends.....the Roach and I are looking forward to that time (he for homework & I for some down/alone time). Each day we have these children I find myself respecting parents more and more. I wonder though, is it different when you raise the children from infancy?
Anniversaries!

Ya know, I think it will be different when you have your own kids. I mean, not that I KNOW.. I keep hearing from different venues of my life "You don't understand until you're a mom." I don't know exactly what that means yet because I'm not. But I believe it.
I love kids. There is no doubt about that. But I've no doubt that I will love my own in a completely unchartered (for me..) way. And I can't wait! (but I will!)

Hey Roomie! It IS TOTALLY different raising them from infancy...and your parenting styles will affect how your children respect you when they are older. Every set of parents parents differently. It's all about setting boundaries and limitations right from the start...and I DO know! :) I love being a mom!!
