I chose over-protective. I've always been this way with my kids and I think I always will be. I was always so afraid of them getting hurt or stolen that I kept them close to my apron strings while they were growing up. Living out in the country and raising the kids there helped to put those fears at rest also. Most mothers that I know that are close to me are over-protective as well. This world is super scary now so we go overboard sometimes to keep our kids safe from harms way.
I don't want to mold them into me because I've always wanted them to be more then what I've become in life. I want more for my girls then being a stay at home mom with no career.
