I have to sons and their both still babies. Eldest is going to be 2 years old now and my youngest is 6 months old. I like both of them to see me when they grow up as their best friend the one that they can run to when they need comfort or just to joke around. The reason for me in saying this is because I see a lot of kids now do confide with their friends rather than their parents. You, how do you like your kids to see you?

I always like to be a good friend to my son. My son is just 2 and half years old. At this stage, I'm sure he does not know about the true meaning of motherhood or friendship. But I love being a friend to my son. I still play with my son, dance with him, jump with him ... We do not know what may happen tomorrow. It also depends on the interst of my son. If he needs to maintain some distance, then it is not going to affect me in anyway. If he wants me to be like how I'm now, I would be much happy..It is all a matter of making him happy..At present I'm a good friend of him. Kids want their parents to be friendly. He should feel that I'm always there for him at anytime.

I have two kids-- a boy and a girl. That's cool-- if you treat them as a friend, then they won't be shy talking about their secrets. If you are too tight with the discipline, they might end up rebelling against you and might marry early. I want them to enjoy life first before entering into a more serious phase of life...
