Parenting is going to go off what's natural - who I truly am. I dont believe in "What I say goes"…
Parenting is going to go off what's natural - who I truly am.
I dont believe in "What I say goes"
"I'm big , you're small"
"I'm the adult, you're the child" Ego driven parenting basically.
Its not natural for me to think and respond to "issues" with a sense of authority towards a child. I'm the mum yes but I'm also a listener, a learner, someone who is also growing.
See, my belief is children already have the blueprint to who they are. I can benefit from them just as much, if not - MORE.
I don't believe that my child can thrive off parenting that is seeing them as a minority.
We don't flex over here, I'm not the "watch your mouth" when I clearly have little control over my own.
"Don't talk back" when my child SHOULD voice their opinion
"Crybaby, Bad child, sissy" Nah, toxic description should not, and will not be spoken on innocent beings. Take the time to actually understand what a child is expressing through their actions without labeling them.
Gender neutral, liberal & free lance parenting ya'll

Oh my god my 18 month old says "Oh shit" because one of us must of slipped and said it. It's so hard trying to teach her something else that sounds familiar so she can stop lol

@mommytobe0703, boundaries are totally understandable. I just don't believe in being a total hypocrite to being an individual

I am a gender neutral, free lance, liberal, organic, homeopathic, barefoot walking, would love to raise my children barefoot and dancing in the woods type of mom, but I've also learned that although they have rights as children and a right to voice their opinions and have a voice, kids also crave structure, guidance, and authority. There is a boundary where we can have fun and laugh and joke, but at the same time I am in charge. If we were all in charge it would be chaos. My children are allowed to have voices and opinions on the choices they want to make, but ultimately at the end of the day my choice trumps all. Kids without authority, in my opinion, tend to run rampant.

@karennn, 😂 we can't contain self expression - we are bound to slip up eventually! I just hope when it comes time, I explain the meaning of explicit words and why and when they should be used. But those moments are indeed hilarious

@troixmikahw, I agree. It's hilarious but embarrassing when she says it in public super loud 😂

@ceeasquared, sounds like a well-balanced method to parenting, being your authentic self but also taking the dominant lead.. I commend you!
