Even “Tough” Moms Deserve Love

As authors of Guerrilla Parenting (and mommies too,) Gayla and I have been labeled as many things. We have been called tough, unfair, judgmental, harsh, just to name a few. We make our “hard core” opinions on child rearing and discipline, known to all who read Guerrilla Parenting. Sometimes, it costs us readers. Sometimes it offends people. No matter what we are seen as, however, we are still mothers with the common goal of trying to raise happy, healthy children. That is an undeniable fact. Yes, we can be tough in our methods. Yes, we are judgmental. It is part of our job, here at GP. It is what sets us aside from some moms, but also what gives a commonality to others. No matter what brand of parenting you subscribe to, every mom deserves to be honored on Mother’s Day. I hope that you all had a wonderful day with your family and that you were made to feel like the special creature that you are. I know I was. Here is my photo journal of my own Mother’s Day. It is proof that even tough mommies are loved and respected by their children.
