Enjoy your superheroes!

I can only imagine what is to come in their teen years. Right now I'm "excitedly" playing along with their outlandish Batman, Spiderman & Superman impressions, and trying to keep them from "flying" off the back of our sofa onto the hardwood floor. One thing I have learned in my short motherhood stint is that you have to pick your battles. I'm glad to hear another mom doesn't want to go toe to toe over a tv show.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00795403043994481805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32087936.post-9845593373882437542011-07-27T07:07:16.796-07:002011-07-27T07:07:16.796-07:00Motherload,

I know what you mean, it is hard to know just how much to limit stuff--banning only seems to make stuff more appealing. For now she gets to watch Tyra with lots of sass talk from me on the side. Love your blog btw!Oh, and no one needs all that sugar. Good to keep it out of the house for the most part--my exception is that my middle girl likes to bake--lots of that around!Judy Zimmermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03404223339538308778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32087936.post-1032239468113731152011-07-26T10:45:22.057-07:002011-07-26T10:45:22.057-07:00My mother tried to control how much TV I watched a...My mother tried to control how much TV I watched as a kid. She'd sometimes touch it to see if it was warm. So, like sticking a thermometer under hot water to fake having a fever, I'd put glasses of ice water on the top of the TV to cool it down. I'm *sure* she was hip to me, but never let on. She also restricted sugar more than a lot of other moms. When I was at friends' houses who had Pop Tarts or soda, I'd look at it like it was contraband. If you tell your daughter she can't watch Tyra, she may find ways to watch it at a friend's or online--so even though you're not crazy about it, better to give in a little so it doesn't become alluring forbidden fruit. (Btw, now that I'm a mom I really try to limit my kids' TV and sugar. It must be in the genes.)motherload bloggerhttp://www.motherloadblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32087936.post-68590540234867706842011-07-19T20:11:01.259-07:002011-07-19T20:11:01.259-07:00I am a friend of a friend of yours who always told...I am a friend of a friend of yours who always told me I should read your blog.

It was high school, and I worked, so I did not have much to say about what she watched. Did I mention her name is Courtney Jo. I always had a thing for "Petticoat Junction" too.Joettenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32087936.post-20516635154143432102011-06-16T14:15:54.740-07:002011-06-16T14:15:54.740-07:00Hahaha, a classic parental problem, cringing over ...Hahaha, a classic parental problem, cringing over the shows your kids watch.
