That’s Your Job as Parent – MOM

That’s Your Job as Parent – MOM

The end of the day nears, Mom works to get her two sons into bed snug as a bug in a rug so that they can fall into a deep state of slumber {for a few hours}. As soon as her sons fall asleep she goes upstairs to tend to her oldest, and only, daughter. This is their Mom/Daughter time, a cherished half hour together of reviewing homework, laughing and rambling about whatever. All that this daughter wants is her Mom to listen. Due to Mom’s great listening skills, her daughter tells her near everything about her life, school and the world. Most recently Mom found out that during this age in her daughter’s life that the children at school think it weird that she tells her Mom so much. …

K-monster is 100% spoiled and he knows it, the kid can get into huge trouble and then two minutes later make you laugh because he was a total nut, thus deterring me from the proper discipline. I don’t know how this child can do that to me because with the other two it wouldn’t happen but the baby of the family has always tended to be the more spoiled child of all. …

Rough and Tumble Play is Good for Kiddos

I have heard it before and actually was a natural at accepting that rough n tumble play is a good thing for these sons of mine. It is funny thinking back to the first days of these two boys being two years and six days apart, their first friendship was a toss on the ground to a wrestling match between the two. Chasing each other to give hugs and smiling as they enjoyed their brotherhood. Video: My boys when they were younger enjoying each others company. My sons can give others quite the scare, they are rough n tumble. Pretend punching, kicking, hitting and grabbing each other to wrestle to the ground or on my sleep number bed is a common occurrence in this household. And it’s good for them. …
