An Explanation

Was thinking while I was getting ready for today that perhaps I should explain myself better to the blog world after writing what I wrote about my conversation with Thomas..I do not want to in any way be concieved as a perverted mother because I asked my son if he was packin a size 40 in his pants.. I belong to the group of people who believe anyone who could hurt a child in any way should be hung…so I do not want to be associated with those kind of people in any way. But I have always had the “fault” that I speak with my kids as if they were my buddies, rather then my kids. I have gotten reprimanded by my mom several times for this. You can’t be friends with your kids- you have to be the parent, I’ve been told. But I spite this advice and have spoken with my kids like friends..and I would have jokingly made a comment like that with a male buddy and I didn’t think anything of it with Thomas until AFTER I said it..another “fault” of mine…speak first think later…but as I wrote, thankfully I don’t think he understood what I meant by his reaction afterwards and making jokes about shoe sizes..but I could still laugh at his comment because I knew what I had said and his response..and it was hillarious and typical male…hahahaha… but I just wanted to clear the air for those who might read that stuff and think- WHAT THE HECK??? So I hope I’ve explained myself and I apologize if I’ve shocked the heck out of anyone who has read this before seeing my explanation!!!!

I am the same way with my kids...I don't think there is anything weird with it either... Relax... we love ya!

Growing a friendship with your children is part of being a good parent. As they grow older - less parenting and more friendship.

There comes a time when your kids 'catch up' - I don't see anything wrong with teaching them a sense of humour.

I think I missed that post - but I totally understand

No worries...what you say to your children is alright with me! Glad Thomas has such a great sense of humor!

I think you should take away this post. You don't need to apologize for anything!

We like you as you are.
