The secret of dealing successfully with a child is not to be its parent

Thursday, April 17, 2008
In spite of or maybe because of being a non-mother, I feel like I have some insight regarding raising children.

1) Make rules.
2) Don't compromise your rules.

Is it that hard? Really? Because dealing with kids whose parents don't do those things is challenging to say the least. I understand wanting the child to have the best of everything, but bending to his or her will at every turn doesn't seem to be the right way to go about doing that. Hopefully I follow my own advice when I become a mother!

This cookie doesn't quite satisfy me. I think I'll have another.
