What My Mother Taught Me
No matter who decides to stay home with the kids, whether it be mom or dad, there will always be things that never change. Dad will always be dad and mom will always be mom. Parenting styles differ greatly between men and women and sometimes it is tough to agree with our spouses on everything 100%.
Can you think of specific things that will never change when it comes to being a mom? or a dad?
Steve over at Lessons from the Road gives us a list of things he learned from his mother. Can anybody relate?
