I guess I should have clarified that I am only a hoverer in aquatic situations. Water scares me! <br />As for the tsk, tsk(ing), I get it too, but, hey, we've got happy, healthy kids with giant personalities and that is proof enough that we are doing something right. <br />By the way, I LOVED the birthday pics!

It bugs me when I hear stories about families being asked to take down tree forts, because they are "too hazardous". I think that sometimes we don't let kids live life, and develop their own sense of self. No wonder so many kids are plugged in and tuned out, they aren't given a chance to live "for their own safety".<br />But I agree with you, that you have to be your own parent. <br />Also, even though you say you are a hoverer, I know your kids get to experience and explore life.<br />The only thing that I don't like about my parenting style, is the "tsk tsk" I get from other parents.Jacquiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02821612283429530588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904957182059402412.post-33989693135655677332011-07-14T13:44:33.273-03:002011-07-14T13:44:33.273-03:00I was waiting for your explanation of wealth and e...I was waiting for your explanation of wealth and eccentric but it never came.<br />Mr. Level HeadedDerrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01025429465458347431noreply@blogger.com
