Where's that parenting book

Have you ever met that person who swore up and down that they knew the ins and outs of parenting? I mean really. You have raised one kid and all of a sudden you know everything, you have your PhD in parenthood. I think if some of the "uptighties" saw my way of parenting they would probably loose their minds. I don't let my kids pig out, but they are allowed to eat candy, they are allowed to have soda, they have toy guns, and swords, I even let them stay up late on Fridays, and Saturdays. But then there is that one uptight person who would think OMG you're going to raise little gang members, their teeth are gonna fall out,blah blah blah!I think that it's funny sometimes, but then there are other times where it makes my blood boil! No one has ever really said anything to me about how I raise my children. I was told that my youngest who is ADHD could use a good ass whooping when he misbehaves. That it's not ADHD it's lack of beating his tail. Ummm no! These parents are normally the ones who learned their "skills" from those parenting books. What to expect when your kid is 20 or some crap like that, or better yet, "Parenting for dummies" I bet if I looked online right now I would "so" find a parenting for dummies book.I have 3 children, and I would be the first to tell you, that what worked with child #1 didn't work for #2 and damn sure didn't work for #3. Moral of the story, burn those books mommas. Intuition is free! I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!

  1. LOL is there really this book? That's hysterical!!! I agree w/the intuition thing. There are some good pointers you can get from others, including expert authors, but a lot of parenting is just instinct (and thank goodness parents come equipped w/tons of it). :)
