Different parenting styles...

what do you do when you and your spouse disagree on parenting?? My husband thinks my 2 year old knows when he's doing something wrong. I don't totally disagree, but think he's still learning. Well, this morning at 5 am, he wakes up... I go get him, get him milk and while holding him he sees a Thomas Train package on the counter. Well, it's not for him at 5 am. I tell him no and he proceeds to throw a FIT!! So B wakes up, puts him back in his crib to scream and finally he lays down quietly... B gets him about 30 minutes later...

So now B thinks anytime he does something bad, let's put him in his crib. I don't think his crib should be a place for punishment. B doesn't think time out in the corner works, because he won't sit there. I think 2 minutes is long enough. B thinks he stays until he calms down...

Do 2 year olds really know that much??

It's been awhile...

Since I've updated my blog. Guess I should do that. Currently I'm addicted to a game on Facebook - Knighthood. Yes, it is a BIG, HUGE time sucker!

Well, I just landed me a part-time job. I'm going to do some accounting work for a non-profit. Hopefully, it will also put me in a position to get additional clients for my "real" job. Good luck to myself! Extra money is always nice!

Kristy's blog just made me think about the last 20 years of my life!

20 years ago - I was convincing my parents to let me apply to LSMSA. They didn't want to even think about it!!

15 years ago - getting kicked out of college... taking a sememster off, working full-time, while my friends were thinking "She'll never go back to school!!"

10 years ago - Miserable marriage... thinking of getting divorced... started first job at a CPA firm

5 years ago - Just got engaged! Yeah! Bought a condo with Burnell. Life is much better now!

currently - Blessed with Tad and Burnell! Great job!
