I'm pretty sure I was a bad parent over the weekend while my wife was at the beach. There, I said it. Had they followed me around with a camera, I might even be in some hot water where DFCS is concerned. Not only did I allow my daughter to drag me to 6 different stores on Saturday, looking for shoes, I also allowed the kids to go swimming at 9:00 on Friday and again on Saturday until about 10:00. Against my better judgement, I also couldn't say no on Friday when they both piled into my bed. (Guess who ended up down the hall in the guest room?)
On our shopping excursion, I gave into some silly demands including getting Tucker some goofy Under Armour shoes. According to him, "these are Beast" and who am I to stand in the way of his 'Beast-ness'. (Yes, Beast is a verb among the Alpharetta 9/10 year old set)
But, the worst area of all is the nutrition they got (or didn't get) while Mom was away at the beach. I'm afraid I'm sending the signal that when Mom is gone for the weekend, rules are relaxed. That's probably not good parenting but you know what, we had so much fun together!!!
Mom is home so we will eat healthier moving forward. Meanwhile, here is what we ate while she was gone.
Friday Night - Dominick's Italian followed by a sundae at DQ
Saturday AM - quick stop at Dunkin on the way to tennis match
Lunch - hotdog / pizza at Costco
Dinner - Taco Mac for a Fanta, then hotdogs and chips poolside.
Sunday AM - quick stop at McD's on the way to church
Lunch - Varsity!!!
I'm the poster child for bad food parenting!!! It ends today!!!!
i can't even comment.
