More about parenting: One of the best and easiest lesson in parenting that I got was from my own son Christian who at seven told me, "Mom,"he said, "Do not hit me, do not call me names, do not embarrass me in front of my friends. It is not fair that just because you are bigger and older than I am that you can do all those things to me." I looked at him for a second and answered " I think you are right. From now on. we are friends." From that point on, being a Mom became the easiest job in the world. Give respect, you g et respect. Give love, you get love. Easy as pie. Simple as logic.
