He's so patient and so interested in everything E does and says. Out of everyone, he really gets the best out of her and she behaves impeccably for him!</p> <p>Fictional: Sprout from The Hen who Dreamed She Could Fly. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-parenting-role-model#post-2019663 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 00:09:46 +0000 HLK208 2019663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad (I love my mom but we spent more time together while I was growing up so naturally, I saw her mistakes and flaws more). My dad will play on the floor with my kids for hours, he is patient, understanding, giving...and just a good role model all together (the type of person to help walk an old lady across the street or stop for a stranger who's car has broken down). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-parenting-role-model#post-2019660 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 00:02:00 +0000 jhd 2019660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really look up to my parents. I also feel like I have learned a lot just from observing other parents--what to do and what not to do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-parenting-role-model#post-2019659 Sun, 11 Jan 2015 23:57:47 +0000 Purpledaisy 2019659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: Tami Taylor and coach Taylor were my first thought before I opened this thread!</p> <p>But seriously they are! When it comes to parenting and marriage. I don't really have any real life role models when it comes to parenting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-parenting-role-model#post-2019606 Sun, 11 Jan 2015 22:47:50 +0000 hummusgirl 2019606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: Yes! The Taylors! They're a marriage role model too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-parenting-role-model#post-2019600 Sun, 11 Jan 2015 22:41:42 +0000 rachiecakes 2019600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My grandma. She was always supportive, encouraging, involved. She always wanted to do things with us kids and included us in everything. Her positivity and love was endless and unwavering, no matter how much of a brat I was being. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-parenting-role-model#post-2019586 Sun, 11 Jan 2015 22:25:27 +0000 Mae 2019586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>real: My parents</p> <p>fictional: parents from Easy A </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-parenting-role-model#post-2019581 Sun, 11 Jan 2015 22:20:02 +0000 yoursilverlining 2019581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents are my parenting and marital role models. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-parenting-role-model#post-2019545 Sun, 11 Jan 2015 21:38:07 +0000 Skadi 2019545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fictional: Marmee from Little Women. </p> <p>Real: A friend who has eight children. She is soft spoken, affectionate and kind--but she runs a tight ship. She does not raise her voice to her kids, ever, but she expects them to listen the first time she says something. Her kids are full of energy and there's a lot of love in that house, but there's also a lot of discipline. She says her chief goal as a parent is to teach her children self control, above all else. I want to be her when I grow up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-parenting-role-model#post-2019538 Sun, 11 Jan 2015 21:26:46 +0000 78h2o 2019538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-parenting-role-model#post-2019528 Sun, 11 Jan 2015 21:17:52 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2019528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everything is different behind closed doors....but the mom of the family I nannied for while I was pregnant with LO really seems like a person who has many qualities I'd like to embody. She's very laid back, works long hours but always appears patient and her oldest is about 119 months older than my first and her second will be about a year older than my second so since we have similar child spacing I feel like I can look to her. She really seems to be so laid back with her husband too (Kind and not resentful) which is something I'm also working on.</p> <p>And I think my mother is wonderful as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-parenting-role-model#post-2019525 Sun, 11 Jan 2015 21:14:12 +0000 artsyfartsy 2019525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister. Haha. It might be that whole big sister idolization I've had since we were kids but I swear she just seems like she has it all figured out. Full time working mom, keeps her house clean, and has a social life. She's a laid back mom in the sense that she's not a hover parent, but she also manages to discipline and raise a very rowdy and high energy toddler perfectly (at least it seems so to me). </p> <p>I wish I could handle motherhood as well as her. Haha. I'm always asking her for advice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-parenting-role-model#post-2019524 Sun, 11 Jan 2015 21:14:04 +0000 twodoghouse 2019524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well obviously Tami and Coach Taylor.</p> <p>In real life, I think I'm trying to take bits and pieces from a lot of people in my life - my parents, my MIL, my cousin, one of my best friends, a co-worker. I guess it takes a village to raise a mom too. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-parenting-role-model#post-2019523 Sun, 11 Jan 2015 21:12:08 +0000 teawithpaloma 2019523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend with three beautiful girls. The energy she puts into them and her job is astounding and I admire her perseverance and tenacity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-parenting-role-model#post-2019480 Sun, 11 Jan 2015 20:24:12 +0000 autumnlove 2019480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I have one. Definitely not Gemma Teller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-parenting-role-model#post-2019467 Sun, 11 Jan 2015 20:12:57 +0000 mrbee 2019467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>REAL-LIFE: A parenting friend who I hang out with. He makes a huge effort to unplug when he's with his kids, and just loves hanging out with the kids on the floor. I do too but there are limits for me... whereas he seems to love getting on the floor and playing for hours. I've gotten better at this over time, but it definitely doesn't come naturally!</p> <p>FICTIONAL: Calvin's dad. I always think about how my poll results are falling as a result of my parenting decisions. It gives me comfort to know I'm not the only one!</p> <p>[attach=1/15/ni1i1l.438x172.Dad-poll.png]</p> <p>Who is your parenting role model? </p>
