When I became pregnant with my first child, I had the notion that parenting was easy and that I wasn’t going to be like my parents. Once, my child was old enough to start having some behavior issues, I immediately changed my tune. I was becoming my parents and that was scary to me, and many new parents find themselves in the same situation. As a child, we learn by modeling what we are taught and these things are stored in the back of our mind. These memories slowly unleash themselves, when we find ourselves in a similar parenting situation.

I know what type of parent I think I am and thankfully, it appears that I am that. But, I’m not perfect so I’m sure that at times, I’m all four types. Thanks for sharing.

I think at some point we are all of the different parenting types. As certain situations cause us to respond differently to our kids especially when our tactics aren’t working. Thank you for stopping by Sarah.
Sadly I might be a mix of these. Leaning towards authoritative but with moments of the others.
