Who Am I

I like to think of myself as a logical person, whose actions are not overridden by emotions. I believe this to be in jeopardy when it comes to being a mother. Sometimes I look back on a day and feel bad for my kids because they could just never be sure which way the wind was blowing. Most of the time I try to sit back and let them figure things out on their own, let natural consequences happen. Other times I know I'm the helicopter mom I despise. Sometimes I'm so crazy strict they probably feel like they can't breathe without getting in trouble. Mostly I feel bad for them when my even keel starts to rock.
