I've heard WAY too many kids' moms say to them, "Here, let me do that."

They didn't even help, they just took over, brushing the kid aside without
even a glance at his face or sad eyes.<<<<<<


I'm days behind as we were in Tampa for the week (Thanks to those of you for
all the tips on where to go. We had a GREAT time!).

The worst example I've witnessed if this was at a little girl's birthday
party. I think she was six. Her mother lit the candles of her cake, carried it
over to the waiting birthday girl while we sang.

The MOM then blew out the candles!!!!!!!!!!!!

Liza's face turned white and tear-y. (Mine was RED! But I was tongue-tied!)
Mom cut the cake and the party continued, but I was totally stunned.I STILL
can't get over it!

Poor Liza.

I really struggled with this when my kids were in school and I was a room mother. I felt that the kids should be allowed to do the best they could, no matter what....on their own.

Other room parents and often the teacher felt that we had to impress the parents, so some of them would just take over for the kids.
