Some people might think that I am a bad mom, but I don't care. For example:
-Both my kids end up in bed with us every night and I don't put them back into their beds. I let them snug to their heart's content. I've heard a million times that it might make them clingy and that they'll just have a harder time staying in their own beds in the future. But I want as many snugs as I can get so I'm keeping them with us. It makes me feel SOO happy.
-I still nurse June if she wakes up at night... yep she is 17 months old on Friday. Everyone probably thinks I'm a weirdo and I've thought about stopping because I don't want to tell people that I still nurse June. It's so lame that I would care. June loves it, as do I.
-I take my kids on road trips ALL THE TIME. I'm talking at least once a month, but usually more. Utah, Northern Cali, San Diego,etc. Most people would probably think that's hard on the kids but I don't want to be without them. They'd rather be with Dane & I on our adventures than with a babysitter. I'm just hoping that they'll be able to go to places like Haiti and Uganda sooner than later. It would be SOOOO good for them.
-I spend more time playing with my kids than I do cleaning. My house might have more germs, but I hear that it just strengthens their immune systems anyway. They won't remember a clean house but they will remember how good they felt when we had tickle wars and puppet shows and a gazillion art projects.
-We don't have tons of money because I am a stay at home mom. They can't have the fanciest toys or the nicest clothes but they have my full, undivided attention 24/7. I hope that's worth something. :)
