You Know You're a Grouch When.....

[MouseWife]

I was a middle of the road protective mom. Made them wear helmets out on the concrete to ride their ride ons, but let them do it. Gave them scissors, glue, paint, playdoh.

I can't believe parents who don't like play-doh. Sure, it can be messy, but, it is such a great thing for the kids to use. Their manual dexterity, their imagination. All the parents think about is the carpet, etc.

We always had areas set up just for the kids. Well, our whole house was for the kids but for that sort of stuff, tables, covers, whatever. They had paint easles, too.

That is what baths are for.

Oh good, if I am going to get a tattoo, I would like one more sinister.
