Parents’ Backwards Priorities

published Friday, April 25th, 2014 at 6:52 pm by

Been thinking lately about parenting and what I perceive as parent's selfish priorities. As I may have stated before, I don't feel it is the right thing to do to stick your kids in daycare or with a nannie or sitter if it is not absolutely necessary. Many parents do not want to be with the kids all day or may feel that their career or money is more important and I feel that the children suffer because of this.

Last night Emma was playing with Melissa's Ipad and Iphone and recorded herself on video and then sent it to Melissa's friend! Being that the phone is Melissa's work phone it is a good thing that Emma didn't send it to anyone else!

 

I think these videos are great because they show Emma in her own element without us being involved ...Read more [.....]
