G-d, I am so grateful that I am so arrogant - as in, "I know more than any d---d doctor when it comes to raising my kids."
Yeah, I know this was meant to be a clever joke about Ferberizing, but it struck a nerve with me. I tried to keep my kids in bed w/me as long as they wanted - & when The Hubby (tm) insisted we had to boot out WombatGirl at 18 months because she was kicking him, I swear it's one of the things that makes her so such an abject pleaser, & I hate it. Luckily, The Hubby (tm) is more or less resigned to PuppyBoy's coming in whenever he (PuppyBoy, not the Hubby (tm)!) wakes up in his own bed by himself.
Children need to feel loved & wanted - it gives them all the confidence they need to face life.
