Hi again! It’s me! I was just thinking about what it might be like to be a mother. It would be a hard, full-time job that’s for sure! You have to teach them right or they grow up wrong and, in everything you do, they’ll be watching so you have to be a good example. I would like to have 6 kids (2 of them twins!). I hope the oldest is a girl and the twins are girls but I don’t care what the others are. Here is a list of ideas on what kind of a mother I’d be:
- Organized (all of my belongings and my plans for the day)
- Fair and understanding
- Creative (thinking of fun activities for my family, etc.)
- Clean
- On task (everything done when it’s supposed to be)
- Healthy
- Positive
- Wealthy
And all that other “goody, goody” stuff! Here are some good ideas on things I could do to become this person:
- Practice with babysitting
- Keep my room clean
- Help others
- Work on thinking about only the good side of things
- Eat right and exercise
- Develop talents
