Joe Missed School Today Or Better Known as Are Daddys Suckers?

Joe hopped a ride with his dad to school this morning. Annie did not get up to the alarm, Charlie the mushy baby is sick so it has been hectic. She called the children's dad to give the kids a lift to school. Joe is an opportunist and decided that it would be a prime day to scream and cry and refuse to exit the truck.

His father unable to leave his little boy at school in such angst thought it best to bring him on home. My daughter was livid. She was livid for the same reason that many of us would be pissed off. Women always have to be the bad ass. The one that says you have to stay at school and I am leaving you here.

Why do men hate to deal? I mean it seems like they do hate to just deal with the discomfort of having to be "that" parent that has "that" kid that is screaming their lungs out the fourth week of school! No one wants to be that parent but for men it seems to be especially uncomfortable.

They just don't like to draw that kind of attention to them selves but I do have to ask what kind of idiot gives into a 5 year old? Well clearly I know what kind of idiot gives into a 5 year old on such a huge issue. It is such a bad idea to give in on such a huge issue.

Now tomorrow will be twice as hard to get Joe on the bus because he will remember that dad let him off the hook today. Why oh why can't parents co parent better? I know parents that are still living together that can't agree on how to raise their children.

Raising children effectively means that everyone needs to be on the same page. Everyone must agree on limits and how to enforce those limits. One parent can not pull all the bad guy weight while the other does not have the courage to stand up!

Make sure you and your partner understand how important it is to keep communications open and to discuss out of juniors ear shot how you plan on handling things like discipline!

Great Baby Shower Gifts

 People always ask about baby shower gifts. If your baby is already here think about the things you got that you really appreciated and things that you would have appreciated but did not get.  I am shameless about my  love of keepsakes being gifted!

I like purposeful items. It is nice once and a while to get something over the top but it is just as nice to get something that you will use over and over again. I also like things like baby books that can be kept for years and years. Anything personalized I also am a big fan of.

I like this

Bob Marley Lullaby - Cool Music for Babies

I am all about exposing babies and children to all different kinds of music. Music has a profound effect on people especially little people. Exposing your baby to different kinds of music will keep their developing brains busy and growing.

I love this CD. I love the sound of Reggae music and I love that Bob Marley lives on through his music especially through these great songs for baby.  If you are a fan of Bob Marley than this is a must have, if you are not yet a fan check it out you will be one soon.


Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of Bob Marley Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of Bob Marley
Why wait to introduce your baby to the mellow sounds of Bob Marley? Includes ten of Marley's top hits, including "One Love," "Stir It Up," and "Redemption Song," in instrumental arrangements made for sleepy little ears.
