Remind Me...

...of the kind of parent I don't want to be when needed m'kay? What kind of parent is that? you ask. The kind of parent so many children today seem to have. The kind of parent who makes excuses for their child rather than encouraging him/her to be a better student. The kind of parent who questions every. little. thing. their child's teacher assigns. The kind of parent who allows their child to manipulate them. The kind of parent who has given or allowed their child to grow in to a sense of entitlement. The kind of parent who "rescues" their child at every opportunity rather than letting them learn from their mistakes. The kind of parent who lets their child walk all over them.
Dear God, please teach me how to be a good parent. And please help me remember that none of us are perfect, and that these parents are just doing what they think is best. Even if the rest of us can see just how wrong it is. Love, Chelsea

**Speaking of those kind of parents....listen to this clip from a school in Australia. This is their "new and improved" voice mail. LOVE IT!!!
