Thanks to your advice (over dinner) I was training the kids to fold sheets and towels this weekend. For your sake, they do not know you were the source of this idea. In a record bad parent moment yesterday, I believe I told my kids they were the most "lazy ass kids I had ever met". They were stunned. Liam told me I must be stressed about the dinner party that day. I accused his Dad of planting that thought but he assured me he figured it out by himself. I will have to read your piece.

All this time you were worried about raising Mamma's Boys, when really you should have been fearing T*tty Babies. I’ve learned much from the Babble discussion.

Good for you! My opinion about your mean commenter is this: "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." *stands and waits...* Hang in there; some people just have way too much un channelled angst!!

I always wondered about the audience over there. It seems like some people just came around to rip the writer apart.

Usually I can see the mom's side, and the times I can't, I remember that someone else feels that strongly about the stuff I can blow off. And we all indulge our kids in some way. I couldn't possibly put out clothes for my five year old or he would never, ever wear them again. But I have other ways I "spoil" him--carrying him in from the car, for example, when he's "too tired" to walk. They're only little once. Soon enough they will totally reject what they used to crave. Enjoy it while it's here! And I'd still love to connect off-line now that my work crunch is over until mid-January. Let me know! Bad Parent is such a fun column, isn’t it?
