The kids are usually playing and doing other things, but if we turn it off, they ask for it on even though they aren't watching it. It's a bad habit, really.Kmamahttp://thedailydribbles.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775059803665454920.post-38993435306427992342011-08-31T03:29:16.000-05:002011-08-31T03:29:16.000-05:00lovely reminders!lovely reminders!gracehttp://arms-wide-open.squarespace.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775059803665454920.post-26098526790436463652011-08-31T04:43:09.000-05:002011-08-31T04:43:09.000-05:00I'm so glad yall are ok.

I *ahem* even caught her taking it into the bathroom. Don't worry, I stopped her. But yeah, I really need to take it down a notch. I hate it!

If their parents permanently beat all ability to defend themselves or any sense of power out of them, how can they recover or make up for that? What limiting beliefs would they have, and what steps can they take to destroy such limiting beliefs?business cartoonhttp://www.cartoonartguy.com/businesscartoon.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775059803665454920.post-32888947277704586482011-09-01T00:30:14.000-05:002011-09-01T00:30:14.000-05:00I didn't realize it, either.
