Mom or Dad?

I have a daughter in 4th grade and a kindergartener and I have been told I am the coolest mom ever. So I would say yes. I don't let my kids do what ever they want I am not their "friend" but we have sleepovers at my house, I play basketball with them, and play video games. Dance silly around the house to raido disney. Things like that. My kids are very respectful and well behaved.

I raised my children and punished them when they broke the rules. Cool is not a word I would use or ever thought my kids would use. My 2 older boys, when they were in high school, started telling their friends that I was a cool mom. I would play catch with them, I would listen to their music and dance with them, the way I danced as a teen, and they told their friends I was cool. That shocked me. My younger son, who is really into rap, even said that I could "bust a move". WOW. What a compliment! I am not a self proclaimed cool mom, I'm a mom who thought it was important to play with my kids and know what they were doing and what music they listened to. They called me cool.

Right now I would consider myself to be a cool mom at the moment because my son is only 7 and I try to do as much kid things there is to do until he gets older and then I probably wont be cool nomore but thats ok cause once your child is a certain age it is time to buckle down on him and make sure he chooses the right paths....

No mom or dad is cool to there kids unless they allow there kids to do what ever they want that is not what parenting is about.

I would say my dads still the coolest. He is a friend of mine (someone i can always count on to talk to) & when was younger he was pretty good on where to draw the line & stuff. Never really got along with my mom. So i would say my dads the coolest.

I always thought so since I had my daughter at a young age, but I embarrass her sometimes. If a parent is going to be cool then they must be lax about certain things, and I am too protective.

It's too early to tell. My daughters are only 3 and 9 months. I think that I am average, but I am not here to be their friend or for them to think I am cool.

I wanna build a strong relationship with my kids. I wanna be their friend who will always be there for them when they need to talk abt things, as well as a parent who is firm and understanding. I believe in being both to my kids. That's my parenting style :) and parentig style differs from person to person :)

Being a cool parent isn't what being a parent is about. You are not supposed to be your kid's friend. Too many "Cool" parents end up having kids that are disrespectful because they are not disciplined.
