What Kind of Mom Are You in Public?

Guest blogger Michelle Kemper Brownlow: Why is it that we sometimes act like different people when we are in public? It's like we think everyone is watching. Isn't it a little vain for us to assume that we are truly THAT great that everyone is looking in our direction? I think it's safe to say we can each be categorized as one of the following three moms:
I’m the mean mom. Always have been. But now that the kids are teens, they also consider me the cool mom. So apparently, like the experts said all along, kids do crave rules and boundaries. And laughter.
How about a helicopter mom?
@ KMayer I’m the mean mom too. My kid, his friends call me mean. I tell them, I’m not mean I just expect you to behave yourself. But in the end I’m a little bit of both. I don’t overachieve because I think someone is looking at me and scoring my parenting skill. But I do it because nothing urks me more than a misbehaved kid and a parent who does nothing. And I don’t want to be that parent. All I expect is that my kids be polite, keep his hands to his self and stay right by my side. On the other hand I’m a softy only when he behaves well, then I’m like putty in his hands. Do I worry about CPS, a little. But I know the rules.
I’m the what you see is what you get mom. There is no difference between our home punishments and out of the house punishments. Though I can’t very well ground a child to their bed in isle three either but a corner usually does just fine. I tend not to give a fig what anyone has to say about me disciplining my children in public because I can guarantee you my children wont be the ones spitting food at your table in a restaurant.
@KS you make a good point. It is usually the same people that will judge you for bringing your child in line in public that would not think twice about complaining to a restaurant manager if your child talks about a whisper.
