I think these are results of the chicken pox vaccine. I didn't want her to have it, but she HAD to before starting school. I had hoped she'd get exposed to it before then, but no.<br><br>Pey is so independant and always has been. I never coddled her too much, but was always there IF she needed something. Maslow had a theory on child-rearing that came from the American Indians. The theory started when he watched a small child trying to open a heavy door, for 30 minutes he screamed and cried and pushed the door and the elders sat quietly and watched rather than getting up to help....when the boy finally got the door open he had accomplished something for himself and was proud and showed confidence. I always tell pey the story of the little indian boy when she says she *can't*. Oh how I despise that word :)<br><br>xoxo~BernieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487302337958330865.post-41755625779096267772005-08-16T06:35:00.000-07:002005-08-16T06:35:00.000-07:00Aw, Cat, sounds like you had a bad day. Sorry, Ki...Aw, Cat, sounds like you had a bad day. Sorry, Kiddo! I'm sure you will adjust to the new group, they are sure lucky to have you in their room. I agree with everything you said about parenting, daycare too young and credit card debt. You're preaching to the choir here! I hope the new kids get well quickly for all of your sakes and that the new girl doesn't really have the hand, foot, mouth syndrome. Hang in there, it's got to get better, right?<br>SamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487302337958330865.post-19226774514927850402005-08-16T08:02:00.000-07:002005-08-16T08:02:00.000-07:00I totally understand! I just can't get what i...I totally understand! I just can't get what it is that makes some parents think day-care is their way out of their responsibility. Not all parents are of this mindset mind you, but waaaay to many. We also have kids that are there open to close, whether their parents are home or not. They think they deserve a break all the time... what kind of break do stay at home parents get that are DOING their jobs get? It is really sad. And unfortunately, many people use us as a crutch, not a tool... and there's a big difference! <br><<HUGS>><br>Hope your week gets better!<br>~Miss OAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487302337958330865.post-13345204909427241322005-08-16T15:40:00.000-07:002005-08-16T15:40:00.000-07:00One reason we didn't send Josh to day care was...One reason we didn't send Josh to day care was we didn't want someone else raising our child.

I'm gonna try that more often. I do it sometimes and it really does help bring my balance down faster!! I agree, I hated having my children in daycare so I have this home biz now and sometimes I have to go to our worksites but at least I can take the kids with me and my oldest one helps a lot. I wish hubby would take over the biz and we could just work that together. We are thinking on it.

I hate the parents that don't pare...AAAHHHHH!! I hate the parents that don't parent. I understand the need for 2 incomes in todays society but still-jeez!! Jeffs sister and brother are the perfect example. They have the one "perfect" child who gets put in time out and they have never raised their voice to him. They both work, take him to daycare and then on the weekends they spend Saturday with him until 4:00 and then they take him to grandmas while they go away until they pick him up to go to daycare Monday morning. The child has more toys and such than 2 daycares put together. He is 2 and has a TV and VCR/DVD in his bedroom!! But they are the ones that chewed me out for leaving my 5 kids with grandma while we went to court for 2 hours!! Getting pissed thinking about her!!!
