Is it easier to be a lazy mom? I don't think it is in the end.
Sometimes I wish I could be a lazy mom...sort of. Not really....
Like today, a child of mine posted "like" on her facebook to a couple bands that are not allowable music in our house. Well, I didn't know about one...I had to search them out, listen, and watch a video which in turn clinched my next move. Facebook shut down for this certain child. 2 bands that do not speak highly of girls, God or the values of which we stand. Nope...time to reel the girl back in...I let some apron strings out but see I need to tighten them up a bit. Her story is that she doesn't know how one of the groups got on her "likes". Even if I believed her which is not out of the realm of truth...I think to be on any social networking site you must responsible enough to know what your posting...what they stand for because when you post it on your FB it's shows what you stand for. So, off she goes...she had to post something saying good-bye...I actually did it for her:) Just stating she posted something she didn't know about and now dear old mom has booted her off FB. Yep, I'm probably not her favorite person right now. That's why being lazy would have been easier:/ Just to say...Delete it and don't do that. BUT NOOOO I have to teach why and make sure my kids understand that these things matter. So, I'm feeling like I did the right thing...but feeling like a bummer of a mom. I can't be their friend...I must be their mom:)
