I think I've figured out what my parenting style is.

Wimptachment parenting.

Half the night fighting with the toddler bed, barring the door; half the night cuddled up with mom and dad.
I'm home all day with my little guy, but I've still developed a son who is obsessed with television.
I'm still thinking about kid-led weaning, but I kind of keep hoping he'll wean really soon now.
Some days, I serve organic vegetables from the farmshare with chicken nuggets from the freezer.

At least I still really like my cloth diapers.

These whining fits aren't really big. They're as small as peas.

If you'd like, I can give you my recipe for scratch chicken nuggets. It's still kind of a work in progress, though -- usually comes out too dry.

It has been my observation that, in much the same way that the best students tend to also be the ones who obsess the most over their grades, the best parents I know (my sister included) tend to be those who worry the most over whether they're really good parents. Granted I've not met either you or Rhys in person, but it sounds like, yes, you are really, honestly a good parent.

You've also got a son who has a sight vocabulary at the age of less than two years. I wouldn't worry about a bit of tv when he's doing that.

I agree with ka_crow: those who worry about their parenting are often among the best parents.
