I need help! I don't know how to be a good, kind, loving mom to a 41/2 year old girl who is.....
JUST LIKE ME!!
I try to be patient and look within myself to be the adult but I find myself arguing with her. Are you kidding? She is 4! I know it is stupid and ridiculous but I don't know what to do. On so many levels I am glad she is like me. I want her to have opinions and be able to stick up for herself and what she knows is right. I don't want her to do everything people tell her to do just because they tell her to. I want her to question people if something doesn't feel right to her.
WHEN SHE IS OLDER.
I don't so much love those things about her right now when she is 4!!!!
Any advice?
P.S. I really, really love her. She can be the kindest, most thoughtful girl. She comes to me when I'm not spending enough time with her and tells me she needs "cuddle time" and I love that. I love laying in bed with her at night and talking and just spending good, alone time with her. But then, a new day starts and so do my struggles.

I love your blog. This is great entertainment. Almost as good as Rock Band. you will need to keep this going with funny stories each day. thanks. I'm still laughing about you disputing things with Kendi. You have to give Kendi credit for trying to shut you down! lol.
Oh man. I so know how you feel, this is exactly my relationship with Stratton. It's hard to be a mom, especially when it seems like I suck at it because I'm constantly in a power struggle with a 5 year old. I am actually glad when people put things like this on their blogs because no one has the perfect life, perfect relationship or is the perfect mom. I think the most important thing is still having those sweet moments laying bed talking or cuddling because they know we love them, even if we don't let them get away with tons of crap.
