I don’t want my children to be spoiled, sugar crazed, self important fools…and they’re not…but my husband and I often have discussions about how to keep a healthy balance with them.
Sometimes they cry when they’re told no.
Sometimes they pout when they’re bored.
Sometimes candy makes them crazy.
Sometimes (most times) they think only of themselves.
So Pat and I will point out that some changes need to be made in order to keep those hoodlums in check.
For the most part we’re fairly agreeable when it comes to what we’re seeing and what needs to be done to balance it.
But when Pat shared that his hope is to raise children who got excited about a bag of nuts as a souvenir from a trip…I nearly fell out of my chair.
Excited over a bag of nuts?
Sometimes you wonder if your husband knows your children at all.
They’ve got my blood coursing through their veins.
Nobody is getting excited about nuts over here.
