How do you think your children and their friends see or think of you.
Are you the kewl parents on the street and everyone hangs out there?
The party parent that let there kids have 50 or so friends over to party on a weekend?
Or the parent who have all the kewl toys for there kids?
Are you the parents that their friends think are weird?
This was a topic today with my teenage kids at dinner with there friends they rated all their friends parents was real eye opener for me.
They said I am more like a friend than a parent so i did not count.

My kids and I really do tend to be more like friends although I do make sure they are reminded that I am a mom. I honestly have a very good relationship with them and we do talk pretty openly about most everything. Of course with 3 teens we have our moments but for the most part we do pretty good and many moms often tell me they are very jealous of the relationship I seem to have with my kids. I'm very proud to say that's one thing in my life I've always thought was most important... being a good parent and a realistic one too. I never forget what I was like as a kid.

I think that my daughter is too young to have formulated an idea about that yet. She is only four. But primarily I am the disciplinarian so I don't think I rate as kewl, but our living room is FILLED with toys so I think that I rate something for that LOL.

I think my kids are oficially embarassed by me but deep down think I'm all right. I know all their friends think I'm cool. Our house is a popular place to visit and when the kids are here they yack my ear off, and they know I'm interested in what they're saying. I think they would rate me well.
