Am I A Good Mom Or Psycho Mom?
I only have one child and everyday I wonder if I am doing things right or not. Well, I did something that I thought was great, but others thought I was going overboard.
Last night I was cleaning my son's room when I found this notebook under his pillow. On the front he had written 'Phoenix's Privet book' and 'Please Don't Look Inside.' So I automatically opened it to look.
My son is 7 and I don't believe he is entitled to privacy. It is my job to protect him as much as possible and that means I have to know exactly what's going on with him.
The book didn't contain anything terrible. It had a bunch of codes and secrets to his 'Minecraft' game. But it made me think, if he is hiding this, what else could he be hiding.
I know he is 7, but if he is gaming I need to know who he is playing with? I try to monitor everything as close as I can but this worried me. So I began the task of cleaning his entire room. I looked in every drawer, nook, and corner. I looked under his bed and in his closet. I wanted to make sure nothing terrible was being done.
Luckily, I didn't find anything. But I was telling Tommy the Hacker about it and he said I was a psycho mom. I laughed because I feel like I am just being protective. I have to make sure he isn't doing things he isn't suppose to or talking to bad people.
I don't feel bad about doing it, and I'll do it again and again. So am I just doing what a good mother should do? Or am I crossing the line into psycho mom?
