[quote=Anonymous]I am an only child. My mom always wanted our house to be the “hang out” house but it wasn’t and never would be because she didn’t know how to just be causally around without butting into our conversations or being subtly critical of me. There is a way of being present and aware of what’s going on in your house without being too strict or overbearing about it. I hope to master the style of parenting that makes my kids’ friends want to come over. My house growing up was always so clean and clutter free. It felt cold. In late elementary a group of girls would tease me that I lived in a museum and that you weren’t allowed to touch anything at my house or my mom would freak out. They were kinda right. I used to be jealous of houses with candid photos and kid artwork displayed in a casual way - like taped to the fridge. [/quote]
