I have always known almost EVERYONE has an opinion on how to be a parent.
(Personal favorite is when they don't have kids or only have one and they give advice on how to be a parent of five and when you don't immediately take their advice they look shocked.)
So, now we come to the tricky part of having several children.
BIG PARTY tonight for the family (maybe not so big but a party still.)
"E" has done all of her work plus some more.
The other kiddos have come through with a million excuses why they
can't possibly clean.
I don't want to pay a babysitter to listen to my other kids whine.
I want to go to the PARTY and I want Lloyd to go too!!
Ideally "E" would get to go to the PARTY!!
Lloyd and I would go with "N" too.
"N" is still in the too young to have jobs category.
Do I cave and let everyone go???
or
Do I stick to my guns and no one goes?
p.s. Does anyone know how to get rid of sunscreen smell? "J" cleaned my mirrors with it today.

i only have 2 kids so will my vote count?
keep reading if my vote counts...i would get the sitter but don't get them one that they like...
That's a good idea....get their least-favorite sitter and then make up some rules so that it's not fun for them to stay home.
And I just have to add.....I was the BEST parent EVER before I had children. Don't ask me what happened. These children seem to come to earth with minds of their own. Who knew?
