Unprompted Answers from My Little People

Hi there!

I've been seeing these questions making the rounds on Facebook and I'll be honest - I was afraid to try them! I sometimes feel like I'm the meanest mom in the universe and I was afraid my kids would give me answers like "You yell at me," or "Your job is looking at your phone." But I wanted to share that thankfully my kids don't think I'm a horrible beast of a mother! It seems like they actually like me! Haha! I'm far from a perfect parent. I know there a LOT of things I could improve on. I yell too much. I probably look at my phone too much. But I also play with them, I take them all over God's Green Earth, I take lots of photos and videos and most importantly, I love them to the Uranus and back (I'd say Pluto, but you know...). 

I'm glad I tried this with them. Maybe I'll come back to this and try it again when they are a little older and #2 isn't so distracted by a Lego set that I've repeatedly asked her NOT TO TOUCH!!! Their answers are below. If you try it with your kids, let me know! 

Without ANY prompting, ask your kid(s) these questions.
