Mommy club

In class I was part of the group debating the pros and cons of giving moms access to their child's library borrowing habits.  I am a mom, and before I had my child I probably would not have cared about those "pro" positions we came up with. My stance would have been "under no circumstances should we give parents the right to check-up on their kids, how very "Big Brother" of us" Now all I think about is the welfare and safety of my little girl. And if I thought I could gain any perspective or knowledge about a problem I thought she was having through her library book selections, then maybe looking at her library record wouldn't be such a bad thing.  It made me think a lot about perspective.  It made me think of how a persons beliefs can be turned upside down by life's circumstances.  Mostly, it made me think about my little girl, and how I hope when she gets older, we can have the type of relationship where I didn't have to snoop around in her life, but she would willingly share with me things. (well , at the very least, what she's reading!)
