I'd clear my diary (ha! like I have a diary!) and be straight round)<BR/><BR/>I have nothing to say about child-rearing apart from this .... it lasts for a very VERY long time and it costs a SHED LOAD of money.

I think half the problem with society these days is parents that spend too much time worrying about not upsetting their kids and not enough time giving them the tools they'll need to be functioning adults (which sometimes means having to do things that you don't really want to do, but nevertheless need to be done).<BR/><BR/>Seriously Grrrrrr about the book.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03272574764983174076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074590606650722321.post-38264337548271681532008-05-09T08:19:00.000+01:002008-05-09T08:19:00.000+01:00Trash, whatever you do, DO NOT put stickytape on t...Trash, whatever you do, DO NOT put stickytape on that book.

Good grief, who is in charge anymore? Be the parent, be the grown up! So many children don't mind any more. If your children don't mind when they are small, what do you think they will be like when they get into their teens!!!
