Yes, many of your ways are mine. My daughter is near 25 and so to combat empty nest I take care of a one and a two-year old youngsters; wouldn't trade a minute of it.

I love your variety. You sound like a great mom! I used to think that parenting fit into one box or another, but now I know that I'm just a mixture of parenting styles that work for our family. I do my best and pray every day that God will help me be the wife, mom, teacher, etc. He has called me to be.
