Stellar parenting advice

It's nice to come home from a long day of baking cookies with your mother and sister to hear your husband say,

"I cleaned the family room 3 times. Every time I turned around, it was a mess again! But, I figured out how to keep them from destroying the house as fast. You keep them occupied and play with them!"

Hot damn.

You can use that nugget of parenting advice, free of charge.

I do that, but the room still gets messed up. Go figure.

Good for him. Of course my hubby makes a bigger mess than the kids!
Hope you had a lovely thanksgiving.

Oh I so love it when hubby has revelations like that!

Can your hubby call my hubby?

I'll never forget coming home from work and asking how the days with the kids went for my hubby. His response? "I couldn't get anything done! You have to watch them all the time. Whenever I started to do something, they'd interrupt me." Really?

That sounds like the sage advice my husband gave me the other day regarding feeding the baby. Apparently, if you wait until she's hungry, she eats better. Who knew?

Weird, we had the exact same conversation the other day. The kids were being horrendous and we were both tired and done and I said, what in the world, why are they so horrible? And matt was all, I don't know, it might help if we actually paid attention to them for a while. Uh huh. A little.
