Smug

* I breastfed ds for 14 months. and dd is bf'ing too.

* I simply did a kick ass, awesome job with dd's birth. no other way to put it

* Ds is a happy, pleasent, friendly little boy (and I take a lot of credit for that )

* Most of the time, i'm consistent and firm without yelling.

* I don't smack, even when I want to.

* We do lots of fun stuff, and spend lots of time outdoors.

* I love them. I know that's hardly unique to me, as a mum, but I feel it's the most important part of my parenting. I love them to the stars and back.

Crap.

* The tv babysitter (Nanny Panasonic, in Snugglybean speak).

* It took me months to properley bond with ds, and he suffered because of it.

* Ds eats junk every now and then.

* I get cranky at 4am when i've been up half the night and noone's sleeping any time soon.

* Some days I am bored breathless, and that in turn means I'm apathetic and on line too much

The worst part about this is I could probably go on for hours witht he crap list, but was having trouble filling the smug one. Oh dear

ETA- jen, you just amde me think of an important one for the crap list. Since dd has come along, I've been expecting ds to act much older than he is. The other day I caught myself saying to him "Stop acting like a two year old!". ummm... he's not even two yet
