I am THAT mom

Author: The one who will talk your ear off about how amazing and smart her kids are. The one you don’t want to bring up kids in the conversation because she will find a way to bring hers up. The one you wish would just shut the hell up about little Stacy and Bobby and their accomplishments.
But you know what? I don’t care!!!!!!!!!
It makes me incredibly happy to know how cool my kids are. My daughter has straight A’s. She loves learning new things, she’s good at sports and she’s just overall a cool kid. She’s been top of her class since Kinder and she just continues to excel.
I went to my son’s open house last night. He’s 4 and in pre-k. The teacher told me she wants to bump him up to Kinder because he already knows the stuff she’s covering and she doesn’t want to hold him back. I just can’t even begin to explain how proud that makes me feel.
I want my kids to have the opportunity to be cultured. I want them to have everything they need to explore different things and learn what they want to learn. That’s why I’m back in school, to give them the opportunity my mom gave me.
Needless to say, I squandered it with a douchebag, but if it weren’t for that I wouldn’t be here writing about how amazing my kids are, so no regrets. I just want to make sure they don’t do the same.
Sometimes I think M is too smart and mature for her own good. I want her to enjoy her childhood and not try to be all grown up. I don’t want her to end up like me and have to learn the lessons the hard way. I want her to be able to seize every opportunity that comes her way if she wants to. She’s my strength. My princess.
And my Kbob. My sweet, innocent little boy. He’s my baby. My heart. I want him to enjoy being a little boy. The rough playing, the sports, whatever he wants to do. I knew I couldn’t expect him to read at 3 like M did. Or to be potty trained at 1 like she was, boys and girls develop at different stages. But it’s amazing to see that hé does great at the things she struggled with. Different types of intelligence. Multiple Intelligence presenting itself right before my eyes.
I love it. I love every minute of wathing them interact. There’s no better reward in life than seeing your kids do great.

Awwwwwwwwww…I love hearing about it…and I love that you’re THAT mom.
I think over the last two years that I’ve known you, the happiest that you’ve been is now, when you’re focusing on your kids. Go ahead and be that Mom because the reason you can be so proud of them is the way YOU raised them to be the kids that they are.

you have every right to brag on your kiddos. you pushed them out, went through pain and snot, busted your figure and your you know what, hell, have annual awards presented to you for being the bomb! andwhen you get up to the podium to accept your much deserved award, you thank you God first, then yourself! you go, girl!
multiple intelligence? hmm, i have a different take on that. but if you want my insight, let me know.
