The Best Parenting Tip I Ever Received!

I once asked a very wise Lady this question, "What do you do when, your six year old tells every person she meets that you need to lose weight and eventually gives you the number to the Lap Band System, Your Three year old is a path of destruction and in the 5 minutes it took for you to clean up the snow globe you broke he has successfully painted the table, drank the science project, given the baby sweet tarts and destroyed the whole living room, (The same one you just spent 30 min. cleaning up) And your 10 month old has Diarrhea, has learned how to walk and is playing in the toilet?" And she said, "LAUGH! It's the best medicine!" That was the best advice I ever received. If you can manage to be more light hearted, find the humor in things, learn to laugh at your mistakes and see your children as a blessing and not a burden your life and theirs will be much better.
