was your mom very protective to you and your siblings?me i've experienced that,i have 4 siblings we are all girls and i cant blame our mom for being so strict with us.that it came to the point that all of us became rebellious.We are still living with our mom but we are not that close to her.and now that i have a daughter i see to it that i discipline her in a balance way.i dont want to make her feel like a prisoner or a robot.but i let her know the do's and don'ts and the consequences of all her actions.being over protective makes a child rebellious to us mothers.

you sound to me like you have a great plan, you outline 'the dos and donta yet let her have some freedom too, so I dont think you will be over protective.you learned from your own childhood what to do and w hat to not do, and that is good.

welcome to mylot sakura, hope you like it here like most of us do. being a mother is not that easy. we need to be a super person in each and every little thing we can. i myself have 3 teen daugthers and it is a jungle out there. but when they are in their right age i will let them choose and decide for themselves. we mothers needs to let our children decide to so they wont be too soft when they are adults already. we parents cant be with them all their lives so we need to prepare them. wink wink.

hi roni,you're really such a loving mom.i agree with you about being a super person,now i'm just starting to become a super person.trying to guide my daughter,as you know she's in her childhood right now and as she gone to become as teen like yours i know it would not be as easy as what you've done to raise your kids.as i watch and guide her as she grow old,allow me to ask some things that could make her feel that i am here to guide her.as we know children today are different as we are,the way they talk to you and everything.thanks for the response and have a great day always!!
