Comments on: Growing Up http://www.frenzieddaddy.com/static/archives/2006/06/08/growing-up/ It is in the compelling zest of high adventure and of victory, and in creative action, that man finds his supreme joys. --- Antoine de Saint-Exupery Thu, 21 Aug 2008 08:45:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Alli http://www.frenzieddaddy.com/static/archives/2006/06/08/growing-up/#comment-2667 Alli Sat, 10 Jun 2006 06:32:23 +0000 http://www.frenzieddaddy.com/static/archives/2006/06/08/growing-up/#comment-2667 Dont be to hard on yourself, we all grew up in culture that says the parent is right the child is wrong.. never given in to tantrums .. never realize that they may be coming for a reason. (I know not a parent here) however kids and parents are all people. Some days giving a little ground to your child is good.. 10 minuites of attention to settle her before sleep (as you say you think you should have in retrospect) and some days .. its not the day to give you child what they want. Seriously thou dont beat yourself up.. you do what you think is best at the time, and have your hunny there to provide a differnt point of view, and the kids too. If you look back in hindsight and see duh could done it differnt.. that is life... taking the time to actully look back and see ... that is being a good parent. Ya know, one that is thinking about the job.. rather then just clocking hours till she is 18? (ps please excuse my lovely run out sentances) my 2cents which by the time I have 2 kids..(if I ever do) will have long since been lost to lack of sleep :) Dont be to hard on yourself, we all grew up in culture that says the parent is right the child is wrong.. never given in to tantrums .. never realize that they may be coming for a reason.
