Unsolicited Advice

No - this won't be a complaint session about people telling me how to parent, completely unsolicited.  Like today when I was told by someone that I should just take Lucy's pacifier away and she'll learn to live without it. Or, that Lucy should be in pull-ups already; this particular person had "both of her boys potty trained by 18 months." Of course she echoed "boys!" after that.

Yeah, yeah.

Anyway, I could continue on; but, this is a post about me giving you unsolicited advice. haha.

Don't let your children hang out in the front seat of the car when it's not moving (and definitely not when it is moving!). It will result in:

1) A tantrum when being put back in the car seat to drive home.

and

2) Passenger windows that look like this:



It's my father's worst nightmare! haha.

I give you that advice; but really, it certainly does make waiting in the car at the grocery store more bearable and Sonic eating in the car easier! 

Windows wash and tantrums last only a few blocks. But, chil-cheese tot stains on tan interior last forever. :)

  1. Just FYI, I don't think boys or girls are easier to potty train. It's such a generality and all kids are different. Tristan was over 3 and Isaac will probably be shortly (he's 30 months). :D
    And who told you to take away her pacifier? She can totally come take away Isaac's if he can live with her until he's learned to live without that. LOL
