I replied to everyone's comments but didn't save them until the next day - and today they're gone.<BR/><BR/>Please assume I've responded to you all in person! I have so little time at the moment I can't do it again. <BR/><BR/>Glad to hear so many are with me (and Hoto, I was merely channelling you, you know!) and feel the same way.

Kai is petting the heads of other babies at book group and breastfeeding support group and now that he's mobile I'm determined to keep him nice, but how? It seems he's always one step ahead...

And finally it gets through this thick head of mine that you're more than just an affectionate, funny and sensible Mommy blogger. So you get to my blogroll... soon.<BR/><BR/>When I was a kid, Mom taught me good manners. I unlearned most of them recently, following my granddad's ethic of "fend for yourself". I still try to wait my turn, but when things turn into a screaming match you won't find me being trodden on. Where do you reach the balance, I wonder?<BR/><BR/>And yet again, I mourn.. where did respect go? Let alone respect for others, even self-respect is absent!Sukhalokahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08839282055547314024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24354635.post-76885017042394886312007-09-11T14:54:00.000+01:002007-09-11T14:54:00.000+01:00Bossy will take her martini with two olives.Bossy will take her martini with two olives.BOSSYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12137297805742498961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24354635.post-87678603535190710372007-09-11T13:05:00.000+01:002007-09-11T13:05:00.000+01:00THIS, dear girl, is why I left teaching (kindergar...THIS, dear girl, is why I left teaching (kindergarten).

Although I probably also would have said it in baby-talk...such as "is diddums having trouble fitting her big ass on the itty-bitty baby toy?" or "is diddums finally getting a chance to be the bully on the playground?"<BR/>I tend to be blunt about such craziness as when parents are bullies and teach their children to be bullies.PJ Lorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03488967344484065880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24354635.post-4806192010257784262007-09-10T22:18:00.000+01:002007-09-10T22:18:00.000+01:00this is a huge gripe of ours too. our little guy ...this is a huge gripe of ours too. our little guy and the rest of our children will have manners and be taught right from wrong - it's a hard job being a parent isn't it?Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14857278504976581447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24354635.post-51192192318888888582007-09-10T20:42:00.000+01:002007-09-10T20:42:00.000+01:00I hate bad manners, I'm fanatical about them.It do...I hate bad manners, I'm fanatical about them.<BR/>It doesn't matter how rich you are, how clever you are or how famous, if you don't have good manners, people won't like you and won't want to be in your company.Frog in the Fieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09990222544828204911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24354635.post-14819989307927485752007-09-10T20:40:00.000+01:002007-09-10T20:40:00.000+01:00Ya know I was just going to try and solve your cat...Ya know I was just going to try and solve your cat food problem by suggesting that you buy the spud a whole bunch of tiny plastic peices ie beads or something and let him play with those so maybe he'd stay away from the cats food. <BR/><BR/>Right. See? I can't have children I was just about to suggest that you try and choke the kid. Or make for one glittery fancy small intestine. <BR/><BR/> Gaaahhhh, but anyways - The spud will have GREAT manners someday because you actually CARE enough to think about it.

Not the only reason, mind you, but one of them anyway. People are so rude and thoughtless these days and of course the kids see and follow like mindless minions. More than once I have seen the surprised looks on people's faces when my girls say "thank you" and "please". Tsk! Wish there were some sort of wake-up call for those rude parents.jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772053505930801670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24354635.post-35234492870187205482007-09-10T09:45:00.000+01:002007-09-10T09:45:00.000+01:00P.S.
