Ah... I survived the Valentine making project. It *only* took an hour and a half. I learned that Emily is very into the collage look while Ally is all about "get'em done quick!" Zach likes simple smiley faces with heart stickers as eyes. Anyway they are finished unlike those kitchen chairs that still need recovering.
I'm too frustrated with the general lack of common sense in some parents to write much more. I should probably avoid those forums for awhile. Or maybe I should write a book:
"No, it is not okay to lock your 3 year old in his room at night because you are too lazy to teach him not to leave the house."
"No, it's not a good thing that your 2 year old eats only jarred baby food because you were too lazy to introduce table foods at an earlier age."
"Yes, providing limits, teaching consequences for one's actions, and using discipline are expected of parents. Quit making excuses and do your job."
Who knows, maybe I could be the next Dr. Phil.
