Parenting Doesn’t End When They Turn 18

Some of us younger parents can be pretty naive. While we are deep in moments of parenting frustrations, we can sometimes think to ourselves that we are ready for our children to hit that 18 year old mark. We are ready for them to not be quite so dependent on us for everything. We can sometimes think that once they leave the house, it is no longer be our job to parent any longer, but we have it all wrong.

The pressure of being a stay at home mom is huge!

I'm sure many of you have seen the boy mom vs girl mom video recently swirling around Facebook. I honestly don't know where this came from. The idea of girls being well behaved vs boys who aren't. I am a mother of FOUR girls. I cannot attest to what it's like with boys, but I sure can say what it's like raising girls.

8 Characteristics of an introverted extrovert mom

We all know the introverted moms. The moms that will quickly grab their kids from school and activities. They don't talk to other moms and try to not even make eye contact.

Lastly, there are mamas like me, the introverted extroverts.
