So, what do you think your KIDS would say (provided they're verbal), if we asked them what their mom is like?
What kind of Mom do you have? Or something to that effect, with age appropriateness in mind.
I've got three teenagers, 19, 17, and 14.
I think they'd say something like, DUDE, DIRT, and MEH. (That is provided they felt like acknowledging the question at all.)
:)
Daughter: Pretty mom, real nice to me.
Son: Best mom ever, pretty, smells nice, crazy, funny.
Baby: hehehhehehehehe! (he thinks I am funny)
Good question. I think I'll ask my 8 yr old tonight. I'll have her write it down, She needs to practice writing anyway for school. lol
They asked her at school before "What was your mom like when she was little?" and she wrote.... Special!! So I thought that was pretty cool : )
My children use these words to describe me:
Lovely
Beautiful
Angry
Bad (when they don't get what they want)
I asked my 6 y/o. She said I'm pretty, takes her places she wants to go, gives her lots of hugs and kisses and that she knows I love her very much.
Not too bad :)
According to my boys - I am:
Greg:
Nice
Strict
Plays games with us
Fair
Loving
Nicky:
Beautiful (not sure what he wants now!!)
Drill Sergeant
Fair
Loving
Guess I should have asked them in different rooms, eh?
If I was to answer for them?
Drill Sergeant
Funny
Mama Bear
Here is what I hear from my 3
Oldest "your the best mom ever"
Middle "your mean mom followed with why can't I followed with my answer"
Youngest "luv you mommy,hugs, kisses, high five, knuckles"
Mine are still little enough to like me. ..hehe. I hope that doesn't go away! They regularly tell me what a nice mom I am and how much they love me. It doesn't mean they get away with whatever they want (in case it sounds that way!). Even if I lose my cool, they are quick to forgive and let it go. Overall they seem to think I'm pretty easy to talk to, be with, and love. Maybe it's just part of them being so young still!
I wuuuuuuuv you Teresa! ((Because I'm now saving this to my records. Wish I'd thought to voice record it for the days he hates me! ; Which, since we're hitting puberty, and adhd-puberty at that, he hates me at least twice a week on average ;))
My 9yo son says;
Happy. Joyful. Amazing. Annoying sometimes. Fun... oh... And best mom ever. Gotta go! See you later mom! (kiss, and outside to ride his bike) Don't forget to call the doctor! Love ya! C'mon dog, I'll race you!
Awwwwww. I'm all verklempt!!!
I already know. My son's very verbal. (Soon to be 13.) Here's what he has said lately:
1. You're a lot cooler than Dad.
2. My mom's got a really bad case of ADD!
3. "Who says you can't remember stuff, you just remember what you want to."
4. Why can't you play....
5. Why are you always busy?
6. Mom, be careful I don't want you to get hurt and die!
7. Go away, mom! (Usualy when he wants to do something himself and doesn't want help or when he's on the phone or talking to his friends on the computer.) lol....Yes, I'm an "evil mom"....I like to bug him.
excellent! Both are busy/gone right now. Can't wait to ask them....I'll EDIT later 2nite!
24yo son: MOTHER in all connotations of the word, caring, bad aim when angry, ....& finally he hit..."Mom, will you please stop. You're making it too easy for me to mouth off". Whatever....
15yo son: evil, crazy, you believe in hard work, you keep track of too many things about us, a good cook when you want to be one - otherwise it's yo-yo for dinner, chaffeur every day for band practice before school, .....& then he said, "okay, that's enough, you're driving me nuts. Can we please go to the JV football now?" LOL!
My 12 yo said, "Ummm, you're pretty good."
My 9 yo said, "You make the best pancakes."
That was it.
Yeah, I'm feeling pretty special right about now! lol
Next time I think I will ask them when their noses aren't buried in their books and they actually look up at me when they answer!
Well, I told my 3 y/o I loved him and he replied "I love cookies"
My 7 y/o tells me all the time that I am the best Mom in the entire world and he loves me bigger than the universe :)
My SD has told me that she couldn't have asked for a better Step-Mom! Melts my heart.

WOW what a reality check! What a difference between boys and girls! BTW: we talk about emotions all the time.....the good the bad and the ugly!
S.
My 16 year old daughter would say that I'm awesome. Really. She thinks I top all of the other moms she knows.
My 12 year old would likely say I was pretty good but not quite as good as dad.
