What parenting really is...

Heard escaping from my lips last evening: Sometimes I understand you and don't understand you at the same time, Janet. Is that what parenting really is?

In addition to "Sometimes I understand you and don't understand you at the same time"...you will begin to find it completely acceptable to hear yourself saying things like:
Please take your sisters socks out of your mouth.
Please don't put your feet in your cerial bowl again.
You can't eat that butter now that it's been in your pants.
No no sweetie, the cat does not like being licked.
I'll give you cookies and candy if you stop crying...this one if my favorite. It's a slippery slope.
There are many many more examples but I have to go pay the kids to go to bed now ;)
