Today I was told I would be a good mother.
By a lovely woman I respect and admire very much.
It made me think....
What qualifies as "a good mother"?
discipline. gospel. love their father. letting them make their own mistakes.
These are what my mother taught me.
But I think fun is important too. I want to have nerdy fun with my kids. We'll play with sine waves in jump ropes, make mouse-trap racecars (go energy conservation laws!), rake leaves and then throw them at each other, play with slinkies and yo-yos and do homework creatively, and have pillow fights.
I hope I'm a good mother. I hope that when they drive me crazy and won't behave and keep smacking each other and refuse to sleep... that I'm still a good mother.
