Playful mom
I’m not a mom yet, thank goodness but I want to be a fun mom with boundaries
Disciplinarian Mom, I answered what my mother was like. I was bought up in a strict household. I was bought up like it was the 1920`s not the 1960`s & onwards.

Pros: This flexibility allows you to nurture well-rounded individuals who can adapt to both structured and free environments, prepared for a variety of life’s challenges.
