10 PARENTING LAWS

(Thanks to Scott Waid for this post)

How many of these do YOU relate to? I'm sure we can all add a few to these as well!

1. The later you stay up, the earlier your child will wake up the next morning.
2. For a child to become clean, something else must become dirty.
3. Toys multiply to fill any space available.
4. The longer it takes you to make a meal, the less your child will like it.
5. Yours is always the only child who doesn't behave.
6. If the shoe fits....it's expensive!
7. The surest way to get something done is to tell a child not to do it.
8. The gooier the food, the more likely it is to end up on the carpet.
9. Backing the car our of the driveway causes your child to hae to go to the bathroom.
10. The more challenging the child, the more rewarding it is to be a parent....sometimes.

We spend the first 12 months of our children's lives teaching them to walk and talk, and the next 24 years telling them to sit down and shut up!
