People whocsay that really docnot understand just ho much it takes to raise a child WELL. They may see people half-assing it and think that’s what it is, but not if you want to do it right and well.
Thanks to everyone for all the encouragement. My son just entered the “terrible threes”. It has taken a lot of practice to get used to being home all the time. But, 99% of the time when I or my husband or the two of us take my son out somewhere he is a well behaved little gentleman. We have been consistent with discipline if he misbehaves at home, and so when we’re out, if he does start to misbehave all we have to do is talk to him about the consequences should his poor behavior continue and that rectifies the situation. He is a joy to be with. And I look at other kids when we go out; screaming, tantrums, rude, and I know that will never be my son. :)
