Smugness is ALWAYS rewarded...karma is a bear!(and that was NOT my 'b' word of choice!)

I did everything I always "meant to do" as a parent. I offer my kids healthy food. I put them down for naps. I take them home as soon as I can if they start acting up. Does that keep them from refusing food for two weeks straight? No. Does it make them sleep? No. Does it give me wonderful, sweet kids who are never hyper in public? Sigh. No. I am thankful for every little thing I get because I know it's luck. Seriously. I did everything I always “meant to do” as a parent. I offer my kids healthy food. I put them down for naps.

I mean holy cow, I hate it when people pretend that there is some magical trick to parenting and if they don't have your problem they've done it right and that all you need is INFORMATION and you can get it done! Righhhhtttt. Or that certain kids aren't more stubborn than others, or that yes, some kids are harder to raise than others. Or smarter. My mother always said she suspected docile well behaved children of being too stupid to know how to push their parents' buttons properly.... YES.
