I love your comment Topaz! Just last night my son said that the reason he is so comfortable speaking with adults is because we always engaged him in conversation and listened to what he had to say. Of course, there are those who think that is a bad idea as well. But they may miss the joy of just enjoying their children as unique individuals. Thanks you for sharing!

Jennifer, I appreciate your responding to my postings! It’s amazing how comfortable people feel about mugging mothers. My stepmother was a wonderful support for me. She’d say just what you said, “Nobody goes off to college in a diaper. Don’t worry about it!”

I appreciate your comments today. I so often find myself trying to defend my actions in how I raise my children, yet no-one knows them better than I do, so I persist. I’ve made a point of always listening to my children, and explaining to them everything i possibly could, within reason, even if I wasn’t sure they could completely understand at the time. The result has been children that everyone loves, that can hold a conversation with an adult and actually know what they are talking about, and that are just a sheer pleasure to be with. Hoorah for the parents who trust their own judgement and raise their kids appropriately.

I feel like I am your blog stalker so I hope you don’t mind that I respond to your postings. I look do forward to your entries as they are soooooo helpful to me. I just LOVE this idea of mommy mugging. I am pretty much mugged 6 months out of the year as my inlaws winter here in Florida. They are nice enough . They are helpful enough. But my mother in law can wack me upside the head with her quietness alone. My son is just shy of 5 and still wears a pull up at night. I get mugged consistently on this item as my idea is that he won’t be wearing a pull up when he is 20. We have tried, he is not ready but one day he will be. It bothers no one. Why do they care? Is it a way to feel better than? Anyway, once again, thanks for posting this. Mommy mugging. I love it.
