The perfect mother in my head...

[tubbinbloom]

 I had all kinds of notions on what kind of mother I would be.  I've watched my older sisters pop babies out left and right and have always been a silent critic of their parenting styles.  I can't believe she didn't make him wash his hair, eat all his vegetables, watch that crap on tv, etc.  I pictured myself as spending hours with my little guy

Agreed. My son likes the kid shows from time to time, but he's been watching horror flicks since a young age and has survived. I don't like how some parents shelter their children. I want my son to grow up knowing he's loved, free to be himself, and a decent amount of knowledge of the real world.

But the relationship I have with my son is different....most little boys run to daddy with 'male' stuff, but he's started coming to me...partly cause his dad is a douche and partly because Malachi knows that I will handle things appropriately.....but at the age of 8, its still hard trying to talk to Malachi about why "it gets hard" when he sees certain things.

Oh the joys of motherhood.
