Or maybe that is just what I tell myself since I have very little playfulness in me..... My kids seem to need me to be a mix of dictator and Lazy Ass.

No, I am a Jackie of all trades...master of none parent, whatever the heck that means. At this moment, I am the exhausted parent and am counting the minutes until I am Rumplestillparent. ;-) I’m the parent that makes fun of all the other parent types and smugly thinks I’m doing it the way it should be done, lol.

Of course, the last time I did a "craft" with my kiddo, it was the loooooooonggggeeest project in the world and my head hurt after the fact. No, during the fact. Ok, so maybe I'm not really the crafty parent...just a wanna-be. I'm definitely not the Volunteer Parent, but of course you know that since my hand didn't shoot up when Daisies needed a Co-Leader. It's not that I didn't think about it, but secretly I send my kid TO Daisies so she can learn WITHOUT me. (Code for "so I can go grocery shopping in peace".) At least I'm honest. Hmm...I am thinking that we need a bumper sticker that says, "Honk if you love your kid"...'cause I think THAT is what being a L.A.P. is all about. Well, that and the free labor...

I couldn't do it when they were littler for 2 reasons, I am a single mom and had to work all the time and little kid stuff and little kids (even my own) bugged me. But now, I can help with my daughters highschool cheer team (parents need to drive) and I like football so as long as I am covert she doesn't know I am doing it to watch the game not the cheering (don't get how a daughter of mine is a rah rah). I will help with the drama dept. (no not sew, not do make up) but pay at the door every night to financially help the program (we life 30 miles from school I have to drop her off and pick her up might as well stay) I volunteer to chaparone dances and such (see the 30 miles from school thing) I watch my sons soccer games, I am starting to figure it out and now that he is 10 they really play not just chase the ball like a mob of 5 year olds. I go to ski competitions, he ski's I drink coffee and read it is all good. Lastly my ex husband is a piece of you know what who pays for nothing, and supports nothing so one of us has to and the kids know without me saying which one it is.
