Mother
For this position, we are looking for someone with good leadership skills. You do not need to have overly maternal instincts. You need to be able to talk to and treat all parties as adults. This means understanding that all parties are adults and understand those rights and responsibilities. They understand money, rent, being an adult, etc. and you won't look down or talk in a condescending tone about such matters. If they have questions or seem to not understand something, they will ask. You do have permission to ask as long as you consider previous statements.
Parties may not always agree with you, but that is life. You mustn't demean them or have the attitude of 'my way or the highway.' This attitude includes not threatening to disown or throw parties out to the street for having their own thoughts, beliefs, friends, activities, etc. Essentially, you're fine not getting your way and in fact, you prefer all parties take their own route.
You must be willing and open to talk about any subject.
You must:
Have exquisite listening skills.
Be encouraging.
Be able to ask questions that help all growth whilst not putting your thought upon them.
You must allow all parties the ability to make their own decisions.
Questions (please include in e-mailed response):
Do you have any other children? If so, please include names, ages, and genders
If your child was afraid to tell you something (like a college major), how would you encourage them to talk to you about it as well as encouraging them?
Would you insist your child do something they didn't want? Why?
Your child does legal activities that you don't approve. Why? How would you talk to them about these activities?
They also have friends you've never met but don't approve. Why? Have you talked to your child about them? Do you know anything about them?
What special skills and qualities do you bring to this position?
