some of this i didnt get growing up but feel my answers will reflect what i think a good mom is:
there to hug and give emotional support during our growing up years.
participating in our school events, like making the cupcakes or just showing up to see us at an event.
spending one on one time with us. if we're girls, i think this aspect is very important to help us become good mothers/women ourselves.
assuring us that they are there for us...good times and bad.
being excited about whatever age we're at and guiding us thru our experiences. as a girl there are challenges when our hormones are raging...giving us assurance at those times. being understanding.
allowing friends to come over to visit
respecting our privacy within reason
most of all being available with unconditional love!
