I can't stop... <g>

8) Remember that we can ask for "do overs," "rewinds," and "try
agains." Our children need to hear us apologize and do better when we
screw up---and they're very generous with the number of times they'll
let us fix ourselves.

9) At the same time, we don't GET a "do over." Childhood is NOT a dress
rehearsal. This is the ONE chance we get with each child. We can't do
the whole childhood over once it's over. We only get this one shot.

Often, we hear someone say that her parents are *much* better
grandparents than they ever were as parents---and she wishes they had
been that nice to *her* as a child.

What a waste! Be the grandparent NOW to your own children! <G>

OMG! I think that sometimes to remind myself how I
wish to be. And it is funny, my father says that his
parents treated me and my brother so differently than
they treated him. And I see how my dad is so
different with my kids than he was with us (although
he doesn't understand nor would he support the way we
choose to live). Time to break that cycle! Laurie
