I'm a teacher and can't believe how spoiled kids are and I'm appalled when I see parents give in because they dont' want to deal with causing a scene. And now we have a variety of 20 somethings who are poorly prepared for real life and expect that they can have everything they want. I think we're finally seeing people applauding the parents who stick to their guns in public and try to teach junior a thing or two. at least i hope so! love that you also found some humor in the whole thing!! Found you at finding the funny.JoAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548653968066971599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386339698166187133.post-50833082705793030812012-02-29T10:28:53.669-05:002012-02-29T10:28:53.669-05:00Oh girl, this KILLED me!

I wanted to simultaneously pat you on the back and run out and buy you new croissants..LOL I've got two-year-old twins and, if we can make it to four years if age, I'll be ecstatic. Isn't it amazing how the lone, awesome song on the radio can deliver one from meltdowns and help you forget you have children plotting your demise, behind you?Paige Kellermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16201061179479380167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386339698166187133.post-1182955045283558192011-04-02T17:01:42.291-04:002011-04-02T17:01:42.291-04:00Ah Peryl...thanks so much for a much needed ego bo...Ah Peryl...thanks so much for a much needed ego boost.

Then I totally had a flashback of the first time Nate ever did something like this to me in a store.<br />He also was 3... & it happened just after I had begun to think "Whew- we made it through the terrible two's- that wasn't SO bad!" Yeah Right- he'd saved it up. 3 was much more of a challenge then 2! But be encouraged... It doesn't last forever. Oh- but then you get the "finicky fours." That's when Nate really started asserting his independence & figured HE could make all his own decisions, especially what he would & wouldn't eat. THINK AGAIN LITTLE ONE!!! *LOL* So far- mommy 1, Nate 0. *S*Robin-Lee Peredanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386339698166187133.post-11433743004427815462011-03-31T16:09:35.617-04:002011-03-31T16:09:35.617-04:00Awesome Jan!

I would be lying if I said Justin doesn't throw down some wild tantrums, usually when I believe that I am being the most reasonable and understanding!

The one I'm thinking of right now is how some people judge a mother who is screaming at her kid in the middle of a store. After having kids, he's thinking, what did that kid do to that poor woman.<br /><br />You might look him up on youtube.
