I wish I had really sat down and thought about it back when I had Cori (she'll be 15 in a few weeks! agh!) I think about it a lot now and I think with each new kiddo that arrives, I need to reevaluate my parenting goals. I guess right now, the kind of parent I want to be is the right kind of parent for each of my individual children. With a 3 month old, 21 month old, 12 yr old and 14 yr old, I have to be a different kind of mom to each one. And so, I am trying really hard to parent the child(ren) I have, rather than the one that I expect them to be. Thinking about who they are, helps me to decide the type of parent that I should be.
