dont sweat the petty things and dont pet the sweaty things

my husband and i are trying to learn more effective ways of parenting and let me tell you sometimes it is hard to know when to pick your battles and which ones to pick . its even harder so far for us to realize that its not always our way or the highway and that we need to work with the kids in acheiving the goals weve set forth. discussing a solution which helps them feel like they have a part in it all is much more efective than just telling them and expecting it to be done. its just hard to remember that sometimes but were tryin!

when you’ve had a good nights sleep

fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats all i got to say about that!!!

inst this philosophy really just sayin pick your battles? i think so. like does it really matter if your kid picks the meat and cheese out of the middle of the sandwich then eats the bread? i mean really, as long as it all gets in their stomach who cares how it gets there right?

It was harder for me not to pet the sweaty things.

I just couldn’t resist!!!

ever come upon a scene so ridiculose that you just cant do anything but laugh about it ? for instance the kids get into the flour and throw it EVERYWHERE and are covered and look like lil ghosts . makes me giggle just thinkin bout it. the problem is so masive that it does no good to get upset cause your gonna have to be dealing with it for awhile so why be pissed the whole time besides they do look approprietly remoresful and they are kinda cute and if you have a camera handy it will be a good story later :D

when the petty things become sweaty.

in order for sexual intercourse to commence.

Splendid advice i think. allthough petting the sweaty things can be great fun so you cant really avoid that alltogether or youd never get laid. and that would be tragic.
