Parenting

You might work in the hardest profession ever, maybe you pull in long hours at the office. Still, nothing, and I mean NOTHING is more stressful than helping your children get their clothes on, sit down for breakfast and arrive on time for school.

First I'd like to tip my hat to the parents whose kids get good grades because they study hard and who do their chores when asked. Unfortunately not all kids are that well behaved. Some pay their parents lip service to doing homework, cleaning their rooms etc. then logon to YouTube or text with their friends. Meanwhile others are openly defiant.

My daughter is very much like me. Her mind is always working which seems to be a common trait among night owls. She's very intelligent, funny and creative but as such she gets bored easily. That was the excuse she used when we grilled her as to why she felt the need to commit an all out food coloring assault on our dog Lola.
