I spent 20 years being "Mister Mom"....
Take the kids to the store -- all the Mommy's are talking to their little kids in the shopping cart that are grabbing crap off the shelves when she's not looking - and the proper Mommy response is "Now little Charlotte... please don't... you know Mommy doesn't like you to do that". My response to my kids -- "hey! You touch that crap again I'll break your arm off"!
I once helped Adrienne and her girlfriend with their 4th grade math homework. They both got F's. I hate the "new math". It's so unnecessary! All you ever use is addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication. Tell me one time you ever used "new math" to do anything except to finance a car.
My kids grew up just fine... and prison food isn't as bad as they said it was. They looked like they never missed many meals.
