Lazy vs spoiled?

Hello my sunny pals,

What is the difference between lazy or being spoiled? What makes someone lazy and not just spoiled or spoiled and rotten lazy? Have a teenager and find out!

I am lucky that I am not really talking about my kids. It just seems to be a trend I am dealing with at work. I do see some lazy activity at my house but I encourage it. I am not about to change too much because I enjoy the down time with my kids. I like that they can just sit around and talk with me. Not ignore me or run off in the other room.

I like being an informed parent but I am also very hands off. I trust my kids. I don't care to know there every move. I want them to go out and make mistakes. Get in trouble. Live. Your only a teenager once. Why not have fun?

I know I am strange but I am good with that. I want my kids to have a certain kind of freedom to make mistakes and to know that I will support them. I am not parenting from a place of fear. If something bad happens we will deal with it.

One day at a time!

Love,
Michelle
