Parents: Watch what you say!
Posted by: laurab2 at 9:50AM CST on June 30, 2009
My son plays baseball and had a terrific game recently, going 4 for 4 with a grand slam (a real one) and was the winning pitcher. People cheered for him, his teammates congratulated him, but one parent could only come up with "Maybe if he'd hit like that all year we would have done better." Seriously, parents, think before you speak. This was the most ridiculous comment I've ever heard. As parents, have you ever experienced those moments when another parent says something that is just so ridiculous and thoughtless that you could just scream?

I can understand putting an infant or baby girl in a two-piece swimsuit...It's much easier to change a diaper that way. But, why are the vast majority of swimsuits for grade school and middle school-aged girls such skimpy bikinis? I buy the one piece suits for my daughter or the swim shirts with skirt bottoms, but she feels like they are so uncool.

I feel like I'm always fighting a losing battle on the cleaning front. Does your six-year-old keep her room clean, clothes hung up and put away? If so, how do you get this done?

So, we were never allowed to sleep over at friends' houses when we were growing up (only at our cousins' homes). I'm not too crazy about the idea of my kids sleeping over in their friends' houses, but it seems like everyone else is allowed to. When is a child old enough to spend the night away from home without their parents?

My son's last day of school was yesterday and he immediately started Summer camp today. He said the kids from school who went to camp with him last year are now staying at home for the Summer. He went to a friend's house last night and his Mother said she is staying at home with her kids this Summer. I would love to spend Summers with my son but I have to work daily. I work with a small staff and will not be able to take much vacation time this year. I felt like such a bad Mom this morning having him get up and go to camp already without any vacation time before it begins. We looked at the lists of kids attending his camp and he didn't know anyone in his group. When I left, he sat against the wall and just looked so lost and lonely. Then, I drove by the park on my way to work and saw many mothers and kids out on the playground and some families walking to the pool. Any other working Moms feeling Summer camp guilt? |
