My friend Stephanie had this on her blog and I thought I should try it.
I wanted to try it because I was curious what my kids would say. I also
thought it might give you some added insight into who I really am.
According to my Kids.....
What is something your Mom always says to you?
-my 1o year old daughter: "Put your shoes/clothes away"
-my 6 year old son: "Clean up your room"
What makes Mom Happy?
-daughter: "When we obey"
-son: "Me being a good boy"
What makes Mom sad?
-daughter: "When we fight or if we don't try new foods"
-son: "Not being a good boy"
How does your Mom make you laugh?
-daughter: "When you are tired you are really funny!" {I must have been a real blast the past month being so tired with so many changes in my life and starting a new job!!}
-son: "When you make silly faces"
How old is your Mom?
-daughter: "Forty something"
-son: "20" {Do you see why I love him?}
How tall is your Mom?
-daughter: "6'2" {really??}
-son: "1 inch tall" answer was given with a huge giggle
What is her favorite thing to do?
- daughter: "Read and making us happy!"
-son: "Reading books"
My kids know me well. Just like Belle, my nose is often stuck in a book!
What does your Mom do when you are not around?
-daughter: "Read, clean or you are on the computer"
-son: "Crying for me because I left"
What is your Mom really good at?
-daughter: " You are a good Mom and are good at reading and cooking"
-son: "Helping me"
What is your Mom not very good at?
-daughter: "Drawing and being a bad Mom"
-son: "I can't think of anything" I must be perfect in his eyes! Ha ha!
How do you know that your Mom loves you?
-daughter: "You show us through helping us in things we plain can't do. You show affection
by encouraging us, tucking us in, and so many other things."
-son: "You give me hugs and kisses"
This was very enlightening for me; hearing what my kids thought about me. I can see
the good things that I am doing and ways to improve as a Mom. But I can tell they know that
I love them and will do anything for them. I challenge, you other Moms or Dads, to try this same little experiment; it may surprise you what will come out of your children's mouths.
Sheila, This was such a cute idea. Eric and I got a kick out of your children's answers. It's true, kids say the darnedest things!
ReplyDeleteI know! I have to say I was a little surprised at some of their answers...a "happy" surprised!! Your new little one is sure beautiful and growing so fast!
ReplyDeleteWell, Miss Sheila....you so deserve such wonderful comments for being a wonderful mom to wonderful kids! And you must always be tired because whenever I see you you always have a huge smile and a contagious laugh! Hee hee! Thinking of you always. Hope the job and everything is going well.
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you Sara! I am tired a lot, so I guess that is where my continuous smile comes from. LOL! Thanks for the support!! :)
ReplyDeleteA lot of people commented to me that they were scared to ask. I think most moms will find the answers aren't as scary as they thought and can actually be pleasantly surprised!
ReplyDeleteI agree Stephanie, the answers are not only fun, but can be quite surprising in a good way! I am going to print off the whole questions and answers thing to make a cute scrapbook page. Thanks for letting me "blog" lift! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, how fun! That was so cute. Your kids sound adorable:o)
ReplyDeleteHey thanks Jewel! I told you it was something different and fun!
ReplyDeleteMy kids are the light of my life. Thanks for visiting my blog.
my favorite is that he says you cry for him when he's not there! so cute! (i love that he always says hi to my Max! Max loves when older kids pay attention to him!) that was fun to see their answers! i should try this!
ReplyDeleteOh Amy, I almost cried myself when I heard his answer. I know that Caleb really likes Max. Glad you made it here!
