Tonight, tho, I gave it a shot when I saw the topic "Parenting Tips You Wont Want To Miss"
I learned a few things:
- Breastfeeding your kids when they're 6 is just wrong. And if you need to go on national television for someone else to tell you its ok to tell your daughter she's too old to suck on your boobs while you lay in your back yard hammock, then I guess this is why Dr Phil has a show.
- You shouldn't hold your kids head and then let your wife try to shovel food down his throat. And, if you have to go on TV for someone to tell you thats not a good idea, then its another reason why he has a show. People apparently need him.
- Its not nice to call your son "Chubby Monkey" and it doesn't take a genius to figure out then why he now doesn't like food.
- If your child fights you at nighttime, its normal! Ok, I admit, this I needed to hear. I found myself taking a deep breath when Dr Phil charted what a child goes thru in the process of fighting sleep. The take away: eventually they get too exhausted to fight it; do all you can to resist going back in; know it might take hours. Over time (2 weeks or so) the behavior apparently stops. This I can try.
Oh, and while I'm posting. Good news- tonight I was "Mommy"
