What's Lazy?

What is a Lazy Mom?

The Lazy Mom, is someone who can't/won't be the Super Mom. I don't display decorations/sculptures that I made from scratch all over the house, make homemade bread, sew all my children's clothes, collect honey from my beehive, register my children up for 5 different music/sports lessons, while writing a complete novel series.  Instead, I just do the minimal amount necessary to keep things sane, alive, and borderline clean. If that means allowing your child to fall and hurt themselves - because I can't be bothered to get up from washing the floors, then so be it. I've also been known to allow the television to sit my children occasionally - as lazy as I am, sometimes I do need to shower. And doesn't the educational system encourage independent learning? I thought I would get a head start. Allow the children to learn the art of 'self-regulation'.

The sooner I can get my kids on their own 2 feet, by learning to be responsible for themselves, the sooner I can book my cruise focus on the bigger obstacles of life. These are the small building blocks that form good life skills, and I want to give my kids the best - even if it means 'letting go' bit by bit. At least that's what I tell myself.
