Great way to build trust in law enforcement and some times dr's have to give shots. Our Drs specifically told us during a meet and greet for new parents not to make them the bad guy. :twisted:
One of the officers was at a restaurant finishing dinner when a nearby mother said (loudly) "If you don't eat your vegetables, that officer will come over here and arrest you."
As he was leaving, he stopped by the table looking at the kid said, "I don't like broccoli either. I just hide it in my napkin." He said the mother had to be fuming.


Parties of 33 should consider dividing their parties into two groups of 16 and a half each.

In other words, the parks are well suited for most ages to enjoy themselves, but a parent should be putting their kids needs before their own.
Hmmm. Maybe I'm a bad parent. I'd give up my life for my child, but that doesn't mean I'm going to let her control a vacation. I do, absolutely, make sure she gets to do everything that's special to her at WDW, at least once. But that doesn't mean I'm going to let her hold the entire family hostage while she spends the entire day doing exactly what she wants. Kids need to learn about compromise (and honestly, how is she going to learn to put her kids needs before her own if no one ever teaches her that HER needs are not the only ones that should be considered?). Sounds like a good way to raise an entitled little monster to me.

My mom and dad always told us kids to eat our veggies. Now when we were in school, when we did not like the school cafeteria's cooked spinach...That was a different story. We drank down all the chocolate milk and stuffed it into the carton. :D:

We had a cafeteria monitor that would check your milk carton to make sure it was empty before you were excused to the playground. I remember watching one poor kid trying to choke down the mashed potatoes and peas he stuck in the carton. And he didn't have anything to wash them down with.

A guest requested today that I tell his kids to stop playing with the MSEP ropes or I will have them arrested. I told him I'd fix it when it got closer to the parade. The children were under 3.

Think we had one of those crazy ladies a yr. or so. People who took their power too far. My Mom was a well known teacher in the district. She'd write notes & my life was good. :cool:

You know that is good punishment for those SG who don't want to list to CM's warnings on Pirates and the Caribbean. ;)
