Learned about Home Schooling and Power Hour from Cath as we trotted along today. Two 'super-mom' items never to occur in my home, ever. But it was interesting to learn how quality people, with post graduate degrees, from good homes raise their children too. It's nice to have a benchmark by which you can determine how badly you are actually doing. I always feel this way, when I see other people's chores lists on the fridge for their kids (make bed, do homework, do the dishes, etc). It makes me wonder if mostly ignoring, and then yelling violently at random moments during the day isn't such a good parenting technique. I'm sure they know I love them. After all, who tosses them a few bags of groceries every coupla' weeks and put up with trombone practice every single day? This supermom, that's who. (9:45 ap). |
