Comments on: Why “mean mommy”? http://www.confessionsofameanmommy.com Because sometimes being a parent means doing what's hard.

I took a different approach on my blog page, but I think we're on the same 'page' so to speak! Thanks for sharing! I'm looking forward to following you. And for the record, I'm a mean mommy too. Thanks for making it a club to be proud to be in! Hi there,

I'm a mean mommy." And, I'm proud of it! LOL I know that if I say "yes" to all his requests, I'm going to raise a selfish, entitled child who I don't want to be around. So, I'm a mean mommy, too!

I don't how I found it but funny how you find things when you need it. I have been struggling with homeschooling my fifth grade daughter, to the point I have considered sending her back to school. After reading several of your posts, I have new found motivation to push through it. Mean is hard 24/7 but at least it's my mean! Thanks for the blog!

I would definitely qualify as a "mean mommy" too, and yet, amazingly enough, I get TONS of compliments on how great/funny/nice/thoughtful/etc my kids are. Hmmm.... could the "experts" be wrong? Surely not! I'm off to subscribe. I suspect our kids would get on famously! (Except mine are older than yours) Hi. Just found you.

Thanks, and once again, good blog!!! Hi Denise,

I have to admit that when we talk about having kids, I often find myself saying, "I'm going to be such a mean mommy!". We are in our mid-thirties and are the last in our circle of friends to get married. All of our friends have kids - we had 30 guests under the age of 10 at our wedding - and they can't wait for us to add to the collective brood of youngsters. While we are excited about the prospect, I don't want to follow in my friends' footsteps and become one of the obsessive, permissive mommies that seem to predominate these days. Who knows how things will work out for us, but its a relief to read your blog and discover that there are sane role models for motherhood out there. Thank you!
