Parenting!

I think I am turning into one of “those” moms.….The ones I used to roll my eyes at….. The ones I said I’d never be…..

The ones that don’t think it’s appropriate for a 2 year old to drink caffeinated drinks.

The ones who don’t want their children watching too much television.

The ones that try to feed their children semi-healthy food and not give them too much high fructose corn syrup. (Price still gets his fair share of sugary goodness, so don’t roll your eyes!)

The ones that don’t let their children skip a night of brushing teeth.

The ones that stick to a “semi-strict” nap routine. (I mean, there are some exceptions, right???)

The ones who rarely let their child stay up past bedtime.

You know the ones…..

Now, don’t get me wrong……Max and Ruby babysit Price occasionally. I know that having that on the tv will allow me to get some things done around the house. I’m not particularly proud of that, seeing as how I think Max causes some of Price’s discipline problems. (See, one of those moms who blames the tv for their childs misbehaviour!) I mean, WHERE IN THE HECK are Max’s parents and WHY doesn’t he listen when he’s told NOT to do something??
It’s Prices very favorite show, but I’m starting to think that I shouldn’t let him watch it often.

And what about the Mama Llama books? “Llama, Llama Mad at Mama” is missing the part where Little Llama goes home and gets a big spanking for throwing all those groceries out of the shopping cart!!

It makes me wonder, Does Price think it’s okay not to obey because Max doesn’t? Does Price think it’s okay to throw tantrums because Little Llama does it??

Maybe that’s putting too much thought into things …..... maybe.......

I’m really pretty laid back about most things, but this being a mom thing is hard….
