"One of my biggest pet peeves is when I see a child complimented by a stranger in front of one of that child's parents, and then I hear the parent sarcastically reply, "You want him? You can take him home with you if you want..." Guard your attitude toward parenting. Sure, there are annoying things, but being the kind of dad your kids will be proud to call their own means building up, not tearing down."
This is yet another area where my husband will have no issues at all. My husband has always been a positive person. He's almost always smiling and laughing and joking around and he generally carries a positive energy with him wherever he goes. His business has made him a little more bitter over the past few months but overall he is still a positive guy.
He will have no problems praising our children at all. He likes to help people. He likes to make people feel better. He likes knowing that he can make a difference in in another person's life. He will be the same way with our children. He will praise them for every good thing they do. He will give them advice for everything bad thing they do. He will never raise his voice or be critical of our children.
Now everything is a big competition for my husband so as soon as someone says "My kid can count to 5," I'm afraid I will hear, "That's great. My kid can count to ten!" He just can't help himself sometimes. But I think that's much better than trying to pawn our child off onto someone else. If you are really that annoyed with your child, then you are doing something wrong.
The way children behave is based on how the parents are teaching them. Yes, I think it's just that simple. If you let your kid do whatever he wants from the time he's a baby, he's not going to listen to you once he gets older. If you teach your child manners and respect, then you should expect to receive just that. I'm tired of parents blaming society for their child's bad behavior. It's your own fault!
Enough of that negativity. Seven more days until we find out what gender this little monster is!! (I say little monster with much love)
