I learned a lot from my Mom. My favorite lesson: remember there is no such thing as a certain way to parent and to remember that you are learning along with your child - it's ok to make mistakes.
I'm not thick-skinned at all, and of course I'm hurt by people attacking me as a person.
I can't stand when people say, 'Don't hate me because I'm beautiful'. OK, how about I hate you because you said that.
