What do you think your worst parenting habit is?

I would have to say mine is over-parenting. My daughter is 2 1/2, and is very small for her age, but becoming very independent. I still find myself trying to do everything for her. I often have to stop myself and say that she is not a baby anymore. I do have to say once it came to my attention i have been alot better.

Stephanie, Don't put yourself down for over mothering,I do it myself to my 2 year old daughter and I learned it from my mom(I am the baby of five) and to have my mom and my sister looking over me can be even worse(more stressfull to me but at least we have recognized our behavior and are trying to ease up. That is the thing that matters! good luck you can do it and don' t be so hard on yourself! you do it cause you love her.

NOT only do I get over protective and overreactive if i see my 2 year old she is in danger I know that it is what mothers do but my worst habit is if I do not get enough sleep I am so impatiant then I yell over stupid stuff. then i feel horrible afterwards I need a better balance. anyone in the same boat?
