Parenting styles are as varied as the fish in the sea, but the one thing we can usually agree on is that we all want to do what’s best for our kids.
Of course, figuring out what’s best is the hard part, especially when we’ve somehow begun to believe that even small decisions we make right now can have huge consequences later in life. My older son will probably not be accepted to college because I allowed him to sleep in pink pajamas. -But that’s another story.
In my ongoing quest to not only be the kind of mom who makes good choices for my kids, but also the kind of mom who wants to make good choices for the world in which we live, I have discovered that there really isn’t one spot with all the right answers. Sadly, I don’t have many answers to how to operate fully as green-friendly CEO of a house, but I am doing what I can to learn as I go.
