How do you think your children view you?
I've got a pretty good idea how mine view me:



I get the "crazy" part, but I'm not sure why Sophie views me as having long blond hair.
:P

1. And you have quite a colorful polka-dotted wardrobe, too.
And fuschia high heeled pumps.

Kewl.

At least she quit giving everyone a penis.
She did that for well over a year.

11. My ten year old says I swear.
It never fails, my kid will be with me when something will happen that makes me swear--like someone blowing off a red light and damn near t-boning me or like when the oil candle got knocked off the counter and red oil and broken glass were creating a Zabruder-like pattern on my white kitchen floor (While the cat wove in and around my ankles!)

Yeah, I probably DO swear too much. I said really bad words in both those situations.


She says she thinks I'm pretty (she does know how to suck up, after all) and she says she thinks I am smart and skinny. I dunno--I'm her MOM so isn't she supposed to think that? It would be awful if she thought I was stupid, fat and ugly--right? Like isn't THAT what you think when you are a TEEN?

As long as I'm the one who puts food in her dish, I am The Goddess. After all, when I walk into a room, the sun comes up.

Hey, maybe "crazy" was intended as a compliment..."My mom is, like, crazy, man". :)

17. my now 15 yo wrote about his mother in 3 or 4th grade
and said that she loved to drink martinis and throw up. of course, that was after the only night tht he ever saw her actually do those things.

he also did a bio on himself and said he was allergic to pancakes and ducks.

18. Awwwww... isn't that the best stuff EVER?
I get all kinds of feedback... I'm mean, too strict, no fun, stingy with money, etc. etc. etc... but on the other hand, I'm somehow also the best mom in the world. :7

19. 4 year old worships me as the center of his universe, 7 year old thinks I've got....
Edited on Tue Sep-25-07 03:17 PM by Pacifist Patriot
my good points. 10 year old thinks I act like a jerk and can be a real bitch. That would be a quote from our latest argument. I'm at my wits end.

I'm not sure why, but the latest picture my 7 year old drew of me pictured me with bunny ears. What is up with that?

21. 'Dad-deeeee Dad-deeeeee Dad-deeeee' while cackling maniacly.
'Dad-deeeeee' is what he says when he's happy.

'Mooooom-meeeeeeeeeeeeee momomomomom-mom-meeeeeee' is what he whines when he's sad.

I'm the fun one! }(

27. nice manicure!
By the way, I heard this a long time ago. If you want to know what your kids think of you, ask them this: "If all the mommies in the world looked just the same, how would you know me?" The answer is usually pretty cool.

30. Okay, I just asked my 8 yr. old that question
His answer? "I don't know. Why are you asking?" He thought I was crazy! x(

My 11 yr. old said, "I would know your laugh." That was nice. :)
