Parenting like your mom

So I was reading this article someone shared and it was 15 reasons why mom is the best. Specifically your mom. While I love my mom with everything I have...there are some things in the article I disagree with. "You love your mom so much and want to parent exactly like how she parented you." While that seems fine and dandy...not for me. My mom is a mother of 4. Out ages are 27,23,13,and 12. I can tell you one thing for sure...she did not parent any of us the exact same. She grew and learned with me how to try new things with my younger brother. She learned that discipline doesn't always work the same for two different people. While there are things I will take from my mom and her style of parenting I will not parent exactly like she did. Almost 30 years ago safety in the neighborhoods were different. Internet was not rearing its ugly head with access to cyber bullying ,pornography , among other issues. While it gives us access to family and friends far apart and access to amazing info ,a parent now a days has to be worried about what's on the Internet. Kids could play outside with less worries of gang violence, molesters and just crazy freaks trying to influence you. Again these are all my opinions and thoughts. I also love near a city that is on the top ten worse places to love due to safety and gang violence. 

While I haven't been able to parent any children of my own just yet I have been able to absorb styles and ways many other parents have. I will use all of these different attributes to help me. 

Another article recently shared on facebook was one about women with tattoos. While my religion is against ruins the temple of your body with ink..I came into the LDS faith with tattoos already. I have never been made to feel uncomfortable or ashamed of my tattoos. Granted I don't have full sleeves or crazy tattoos(almost all of mine are covered) the article(written by a man) claimed women with tattoos are sluts, have no self worth, have mental issues, have no sense of values or morals and much more. I was honestly dumb founded. I don't sleep around. I have a strong sense of faith and morals and know who I am. Also happy to say besides anxiety and depression that has come with the loss of my son and another loss this past April I am a fine well adjusted person who has been able to hold down many great jobs. People should get to know the people behind the tattoos.
