I try my best most days, which is all that can be asked of any mom. <br /><br />Though I want to say I've tried to steer away from ever using "good mom/bad mom" labels. There is no such thing as a good or bad mom, only moms who are more or less effective at raising happy, well-adjusted kids at any given moment. Everybody is a mixed bag. And of course, I just blogged about one of my good moments so it would seem. :)TheTamFamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02218298599179687258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3898391600279544244.post-64501244539295733752012-03-25T18:03:39.055-03:002012-03-25T18:03:39.055-03:00Gisela, you reminded me of one point in the book I...Gisela, you reminded me of one point in the book I don't agree with fully. (rats, and here I thought I'd finally come across a parenting book I agreed with 100%). <br /><br />The author comes across as sort of anti-war. Which is strange, seeing as how she has a whole section in the book on the need for people to stand up against bullies. As members of the LDS church, we understand war is sometimes necessary--the kingmen needed executed, the title of liberty needed raised, there was even war in Heaven!! So I don't know how that part of the book (the ultra-pacifist part) will feel to someone from a military family reading it. The author just seems to say War = BAD. Without considering the complexities of the strong needing to protect the weak, etc. <br /><br />Anyway, yes though I'm glad you felt a connection with what I described from Lo's experience. I'm sure you can find something in this book to help your kids adjust to all the upheaval they've endured. Kids really are resilient. Thankfully. =)TheTamFamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02218298599179687258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3898391600279544244.post-19083275795441623932012-03-25T11:22:41.793-03:002012-03-25T11:22:41.793-03:00You are such a good mom.You are such a good mom.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07882785416922878363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3898391600279544244.post-78109811170574601612012-03-24T23:16:58.054-03:002012-03-24T23:16:58.054-03:00Thanks so much for sharing!

Between 2 moves and a deployment, I can see what my kids have been doing during play time and connecting it with what you have shared about Lo's play. I need to pay more attention.Gisela-Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16237482048408402634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3898391600279544244.post-71850192703626252932012-03-24T11:16:13.816-03:002012-03-24T11:16:13.816-03:00What a cute boy.

I get great enjoyment from watching my two eldest (5 and 2) play with each other, and even occasionally with their baby brother. And then I get to enjoy it when they "work" with me, which I find really fun, and more natural, too.NessaAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235410716507259118noreply@blogger.com
