Complete Idiot's Guide to Parenting..

As you know already, parenting does not come with a handy dandy manual. Something you can refer to when all of your kids get sick at once, or when homework is a hassle, or when your has straws lodged up his nose, or when your daughther refuse to get her hair combed, or when nobody wants anybody to look or talk to them....excuse me I got a little of course.

What are my parenting do's and dont's:

I never allow my children to visit anyone whom, I have not met the parents first(hated my mom for this very same thing)

I do not allow company in the bedrooms, big no no!

I do not allow my children to have company when I am not home

I will not respond to a child who is yelling, crying or whining. They must get it together before I will talk to them

I do not tolerate any back talk, especially the WHATEVA'S

I do not allow my chidren to fight or argue

My children do not have a consistent bed time ( guess I won't be winning mom of the year)

I do joke and kid around with my children

I do value my children's opinion, even though we may not agree

I do not believe that children should be seen and not heard (never understood, wth my dad meant and still don't to this day)

I don't always follow thru with my punishments

I do allow my children to watch a considerable amount of tv, however they must have finished chores, homework, and study time

I do allow my children to sleep in my bed sometimes, even the 13 year old, we call it family campout night

I do allow my children to watch some rated R films, mostly horror, they love it. Especially Jeepers Creepers....lol

I guess that sums it up..
I don't always know what the hell I am doing...
Sometimes I feel so lost!
Sometimes I get really frustrated!
But my biggest pride and joy is being the mother of my 3 beautiful babies...
