I was not exactly the cool kid in high school, or middle school, or elementary school. The only time I was really ever the cool kid in school was in preschool when there was only like 5 kids in my class and I was the only girl. I have always had friends in different circles but was never officially accepted into any circle. So what if when its time for my kids to go to school and make friends that I am not the cool mom I like to think I am.
Obviously it has never come naturally to me so why would when I'm older? When I ask myself this question I try to remember that it will be more important to be the careful mom, who makes sure her kids make it through high school then to be the cool mom who lets the other kids stay over on school nights.
It is more important to me that I pay attention to where my kids are and what they are doing rather then if they like me or not. I hope that I am able to achieve both of these statuses throughout their lives as they are growing older but I know with my track record it is unlikely. So I can only hope to at least achieve the more important status. I may be the mean nasty mom but you bet your ass my kids will be graduating high school!
