Mean MOM

So it seams at this present moment that I am a Mean mom. Words that I thought I would never hear, hoped that I would never hear. I know parenting is hard, but the hardest part is not knowing if your doing a good job raising your child. You want to teach them right from wrong, good from bad and yet the irony is that you will NOT find out if you have done a good job until they are much older.

I promised that I would not hit my child, teaching her that I will not be a hypocrite. If I teach her not to hit anyone, how can I hit her. I teach that Karma is something to think about. For every wrong choice, comes a consequence. For every good choice comes something positive. Is this the right way to go? I honestly don't know. As I am writing this, my daughter is in timeout and cried herself to sleep!

I just have to believe in what I was taught as a child and hope that there is no timeline where those values become extinct.
