Think of it this way: you are really saving Todd and Bri is helping me. We non-type A's would not get a lot done without you A's.Faciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12165861407055831754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663468186545705233.post-84848754428688255602010-10-26T13:19:30.941-04:002010-10-26T13:19:30.941-04:00My sister's coworker has 2 kids approximately ...My sister's coworker has 2 kids approximately the same age as my sister's grandkids (my great-nephews -- ages 5 and 3). Coworker's kids are incredibly self-sufficient -- able to get themselves up (on the weekends), get their own cereal, amuse themselves until Mom and Dad get up, etc. My great-nephews, not so much. Type A "momming" can be a really beautiful thing!chris h.http://www.writingbyear.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663468186545705233.post-3883483478105828362010-10-26T12:04:15.053-04:002010-10-26T12:04:15.053-04:00Dont worry, your kid will reach a point where he w...Dont worry, your kid will reach a point where he will brush his teeth on his own and do other things w/o nagging, thats how I deal with it, and if he doesnt, when they get older, they have to sink or swim, which is what I'm going through with my eldest....scary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663468186545705233.post-69748777732683214742010-10-26T10:34:41.923-04:002010-10-26T10:34:41.923-04:00AMEN!

Am I the only one who can tell time?!<br />I had a bit of a laugh at your expense, because I have the same issues here. I want the kids to be responsible so they can stand on their own two feet. Not expect others to do for them when they can do it for themselves. They do make their own lunches every morning. I do check to see what's in there, but for the most part they do good. Don't get me wrong, I still so have to nag to get them moving out the door some mornings, but for the most part they are out there on time. <br />Good Luck Miss! I know it's a work in progress here.Cari Skusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03867915893000450291noreply@blogger.com
