I'm so proud to have good kids. And so glad I can take some of the credit. Parenting styles can be SO varied.
We spent some time with the in-laws last night and saw their neighbors, who must be some of the most off-base parents of all time.
It's 11 at night, the 3-year-old is exhausted, acting out, making messes. Him mom is just lounging and telling him he's naughty and a shit. She's annoyed that the kid is not laying down in front of the TV and going to sleep. She keeps feeding him sugar - chocolate milk, cookies, candy... like that will help him wind down. Meanwhile, dad is snoring on the couch (at the neighbors' house - not his own house!) Believe it or not, the kid doesn't swear yet. Give it a year.
All the while, my girls have been asleep in pack and plays for hours, having gone nighty night without so much as a peep. And no sugar after having brushed their teeth. And little G is just hanging out, minding his own business. To top off the weekend, we took the kids to 7:30 mass this morning and everyone was great!

When your kids are this age, you can take all the credit! It's when they're older that outside influences play a larger role. However, it always amazes me to see parents like that and how clueless they are! Do they think kids can raise themselves? Crazy!
