How are you as a mom? Are you a disciplinarian? An authoritarian? Do your kids see you as not only their mom, but also their friend? or even best friend? How do you draw the line between being a mom and being a friend?
It’s not easy being a mom. You need to be awfully patient and understanding, and you need to be constantly armed with readily available hugs and kisses, to distribute to your kids, whether equally or according to their needs at the moment. And it’s doubly difficult if you’re a working mom, because you have to make do with whatever time is available when you’re home. You have to do the extra mile in making sure that the needs of your kids are met. But then on the same note, there’s no way that you can be a superwoman also, because otherwise, you’ll get so drained and burned out that you would have nothing left for your husband’s needs anymore. Proper balance is the key. But who can honestly say that she has this carefully laid out in her everyday life? Not so many I’m sure. And honestly, I’m not one of those.
But although we all have our own ups and downs in being a mom to our kids, we share the same conviction of loving our kids unconditionally, and making sure that they live in a home where a harmonious relationship exists among each and every member of the family.

I agree, completely. It's a tough job being a Mom but it's something that we, women, have been given the innate talent and the heart to do.
indeed, it's a tough job, and only our children can say that we pass their standards with flying colors…
Being a mom is i think the most challenging and most fulfilling job on earth. It's not just about taking care of our kids' needs but shaping their character as well so they'd grow up to be useful members of society.
I think I am both.. and all of the above. Sometimes my daughter doesn't like the rules and calls me Old Fashion. But I hear her tell others the same things we say to her. I hope we are raising her with Morals and a conscience to be a great Mom and person.
I'm a disciplinarian mom but at the same time, a mom that jokes around with my kids and goof around with them. Being a mom is the toughest job, not a cliche at all. Our job is to raise our kids to become good citizens, good human beings, compassionate, and independent. Not to mention manners and street smart. Everything.
Hi to all! Thanks for dropping by my blog. It's really very important that we maintain a balance in our relationship with our kids, like, being a disciplinarian mom, a compassionate mom, or a mom with a sense of humor. Being exposed to this kind of personality will make our children well-rounded individuals, and it will help shape them as future moms and dads to their own kids.
