My son forgot to collect his sports-bottle of water from the Home Depot workshop--and spent an hour crying about it when we got home. Pretty much ruined his day...

Hopefully lesson learned. I was a terrible mom. Never talked baby talk or allowed others to either, chucked bean bags at them when needed or stuck them in this taped off area called the penalty box for undetermined amounts of time... just depended on whether I still felt like killing them or not, made them use 'sir' ma'am', please, thank you, excuse me and you're welcome, and to open car doors for ladies and wait til the ladies were seated before sitting. I never used the term... use your indoor voice. Always felt they were never too young to learn responsibility. Can't count the wooden spoons I broke either

So many great tree pictures; inspires me to try and make my own. I do have a tree tattoo in which most of the lines blew out, so I need to try to figure out something to fix it.

4. Well then I was a terrible mom then too because I was the same way with my boys...I also wasn't one to listen them to whine and cry...I always told them not to come crying to me unless there's a lot of blood or broken bones. I taught them to figure things out for themselves, that I wasn't going to solve all their little problems for them. They learned to work things out amongst themselves and how to get along because if I had to get involved then there was gonna be serious trouble. I never had any trouble out of them at school or anywhere because they were raised to respect others. They also knew if they did something wrong, then they were going to suffer the consequences of it. So if you were a terrible mom, then my hat's off to you, because it's exactly the way I think too!

Well, then, terrible moms, we're in good company.
I let him deal with it on his own. After he stopped crying, he showed me a picture that he drew of of it and said that it will help him remember. He's now happily playing with listening to music while playing with lego and waiting for later this afternoon when it is time to water the plants.

2: then terrible dads as well, as this was my approach. Respect people and surely your mom and dad.

5. Yeah Count, kids tend to get over things pretty quickly when left alone, and like Joan said maybe he'll have learned from it and take better care of his stuff next time.
Well time to try and find something for dinner, then watch the race...Have a good evening everyone!
