Star Wars for the home
After hearing my daughter so easily deter my husband from getting in "trouble", I was reminded of how tricky they are. Children are very clever at using phrases such as "but why doesn't", or "but he didn't do either" ... I reminded him that when one is disciplining a child, one must always "stay on target". This got me thinking, can one parent only by evoking the wisdom of Star Wars? I think so.
Wonderful girl--Either I might try to kill her or I'm beginning to like her. What can I say? Kids are a pain in the bum, but gosh they are the cutest.
I find your lack of faith disturbing. My kids aren't always sure I know where to drive or how to do something! Aren't they still young enough that I should be in a godlike state for a few more years ?!!
Use the force. Sometimes forces is necessary. If you have kids, you have to forcefully (ha-ha) carry a screaming child away from a store or neighbor's house. Don't be shy, remember Yoda, there is a time and place to use the force.
Size matters not--Judge me by my size do you? Well, my children are small, but don't underestimate their power to wreak havoc on my home. The other point of view is this: I'm small but don't mess with me.
The tighter you grip, the more star systems (children) will slip through your fingers. I have found the more intense I get, the more my children seem to be amused than frightened of me.
You must unlearn what you have learned. Once you start down the dark path--forever it will dominate your destiny." We all know that losing one's temper is easy. But it IS a dark path. So, you know... never underestimate the force.
Watch your mouth kid, or you'll find yourself floating home.
