Having them dressed at pick up *rant*

[Crayola kiddies]

Right? The kids should listen to their parents! It's like these parents try to convince the child that they want to go home for supper. Not how it works. I'm all for giving kids choice and empowering them to make decisions, but at the end of the day, if things need to be done, they either listen, or it is done for them, kicking and screaming, if need be.

Children should only be given a choice when there is a choice .... Do you want to wear the red pajammas or the blue pajammas not do you want to get your pajammas on ? ....... Do you want carrots or broccoli not do you want vegetables ?..... Never ask a child a question or to make a choice if there is no choice ..... Like ....Are you ready to go to bed? And my fav is when a parent picks up and says ...... Are you ready to go home? Seriously?????? 90% of the time they say no..... So now what ???? You make the provider the "bad guy" that's what ..... Cause now the provider has to say "well sorry but its not an option mom/dad is here and it is time to go ". This is basic parenting 101 Give a choice when there is a choice !!!! Why can't parents just parent? You can be your kids friend when they are adults for now just be a parent !
