Closing The Parent Gap

Last night I went out with some members of my parent's group and a few of their friends. It was an interesting night as I got to meet some nice new people. I seldom get the opportunity to meet new people as my life and circle of interaction is very small. Of course with my new job that's all about to change.

Anyway, by the end of the evening we were pretty much split up into 2 groups: the creative and the normies. One thing that did bind us all together is our desire to continuously improve our relationships with the children in our lives, whether son/daughters or nieces/nephews.

Well, as I promised last night, here's the links to the posts of other bloggers I talked about, and to what some of you saw/judged as my controversial family and house rules.

As I said during our heated discussion: "my family and house rules are guided by my personal values" and should be viewed as such. They were wonderfully for me as these are the only rules my son has known. Hope they helps those that care to read them!

4 WATCH OUT FOR THAT WALL, _JON!!! Nice post, Michele, and for what it's worth, I'm of the same mind when it comes to kids. I don't have any, but that's the way I was brought up, and plan to bring my children up.
