You have done a fine job, as far as I can see, and I encourage you to continue. Same for you Kristin, I'm glad that you realize the importance of character building. Thank you both for reading my thoughts. :)Laura Kaedinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02728792296140053108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6311653049943903408.post-67352878620608773422008-04-30T14:55:00.000-04:002008-04-30T14:55:00.000-04:00Is it the parents, though?

We're actually giving away door prizes at a party this weekend - all things my sons grandparents sent him "just because".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6311653049943903408.post-74233058039065423402008-04-26T13:49:00.000-04:002008-04-26T13:49:00.000-04:00Hi - I just stumbled upon your blog from the "winn...Hi - I just stumbled upon your blog from the "winners" list on Crunchy Chicken. I just wanted to say that I totally agree with you about children in this society. As a mother of two boys (ages 8 & 10), it actually makes me feel like I'm doing my job well if they are bored/sad/disappointed/frustrated once in a while. It's great for them!! And you're right...it teaches them patience and builds character. AND it makes them realize (I hope) which things are ultimately really important and which things aren't, in the long run, all that important.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, just wanted to say that you said it perfectly and I appreciated hearing it from someone else. This isn't always a popular way to feel about parenting.<BR/><BR/>Cheers!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05305313087187215919noreply@blogger.com
