I have been checking the website every couple of weeks and get a kick out of your articles. On this one though I have to make a comment. I believe the best comment I have every heard about parents and children was told to me by my mother. She said "The parent is not there to be a friend or buddy to the child. The parents have a job to do. The parents' job is to raise their childern to be a productive members of society." When you think of it in that context, it makes you realize you have a very important job ahead of you. But with both of your talents, I think you will do a great job. Just give them lots of love and teach them right and wrong and you will be way ahead of the game. Shawn,

It seems like not taking your kids shopping with you will save you the trouble of having to say no, but not provide an opportunity to learn. So I'll disagree with point #2, but otherwise, spot-on.
