If someone else wanted to be the drill sergeant, I think I would like the results, but I don't want to do it myself. Does that mean I'm hypocritical?<BR/><BR/>P.P.P.S.

My kids are going to eventually want to eat, by the time they are teenagers it will be difficult for me to keep them fed, I will probably wish they were picky eaters.<BR/><BR/>So, I try to take delight in the moments of joy, like singing songs with my youngest, talking about school with my oldest, or listening to the profound wisdom of my middle child. It's the little joys that matter, not the disciplined, happy home picture that some people try to push on us.<BR/><BR/>At least that's what I believe!Musings of a Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12241104585574794776noreply@blogger.com
