Crazy crazy. Winter driving is a bit scary for the best of us. I've been doing it for 15 years and I still dislike it at times, even in hubby's big truck.<BR/><BR/>My boy is the same as yours when it comes to limp bodies and struggling to get the car seat buckles done up. 3/4 year olds are sure strong.Cheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17959010263658477904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3150665525839435488.post-8608320563611952632007-12-05T10:34:00.000-07:002007-12-05T10:34:00.000-07:00For not knowing what to write about, you came up w...For not knowing what to write about, you came up with a lot! :-)<BR/><BR/> Boy, do I relate to this post.<BR/>First of all, one of the biggest reasons I dislike winter so much is all the darn layers everyone has to put on and the constant mess of melting snow and mud on the floor in the house. (I hate being cold and I hate gray, short days too---so the combination does NOT make winter popular with me!)<BR/><BR/>Second, I have struggled with the kids' lack of gratefulness for the privileges they get by being in sports...the chauffeuring, the money we pay for fees and equipment, all the sacrifices we parents make. But after telling the kids over and over how lucky they are and they better appreciate it, I realize that they don't know anything else or have anything else to compare their life to. They don't have our memories, or our knowledge of the adult world of sacrifice and responsibility. My 14 year old son told me a couple of weeks ago, "You say I'm lucky and that I have it so easy, but I don't know why you say that because my friends all have a lot more things than I do and their parents aren't nearly as strict." Telling them about starving kids in Africa or kids on farms that have to get up at 5:00 AM to do chores doesn't compute with them!<BR/><BR/>Third, boy do I understand the family guilt. I don't think we're ever free of it, but you did the right thing, Kristen!<BR/><BR/>TTYS!<BR/><BR/>SnizSnizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12609352449272402863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3150665525839435488.post-6983512582647037252007-12-05T08:02:00.000-07:002007-12-05T08:02:00.000-07:00You are a SuperMom!
