What kind of parent are you?

I found this post on www.huffington.com that was originally from Jill Smokler at www.scarymommy.com describing how Jill sees herself as a parent and it really hit home, especially the pool and bath reference.  I think more often than not, things may not work out exactly like we want them to or think they should, but we try our best to be good parents.
