Parenting

Ok. It's time for me to step up and balance myself on this lovely soapbox of mine.

I'm a firm believer that parenting is trial and error. However, somethings are rather common sense. For instance, lack of consistent discipline or no discipline at all, results in uncontrollable kids; substituting love and affection with material things, results in spoiled and unappreciative kids; breaking promises, creates heartbroken kids.

I'm not saying that parenting is an easy job. As a matter of fact, it may be considered hard by some. Needless to say, it's the most important job that one can have, if blessed with the opportunity. It can also be the most rewarding.

If a lifetime commitment is not something you want. Don't have kids. Wrap it up. Sew it up. Or pull it out. Being a parent is not for the weak. Parenting requires gut, wit, patience, understanding, and most importantly, unconditional love. If you can't handle it, pass the torch to someone who can.

Well, I guess it's time that I step down and shine this baby up for the next time.

Until then......peace, love, & fleur de lis!
