It’s time for my yearly parenting resolution. Of course there are fifty things I could and should make resolutions about but I try to stick to one per year in order to keep myself from feeling like a complete and utter failure. I have resolution ADD and can barely keep my brain focused on one goal, let alone fifty.
This year, as a mom, I’ve decided to focus on food.

Junk Food Clothing
The hooded sweatshirts have a drawstring at the neck which can pose a strangulation hazard to children. In February 1996, CPSC issued guidelines (pdf) (which were incorporated into an industry voluntary standard in 1997) to help prevent children from strangling or getting entangled on the neck and waist drawstrings in upper garments, such as jackets and sweatshirts.
Consumers should immediately remove the drawstrings from the sweatshirts to eliminate the hazard. Consumers can also return the product to the store where purchase for a refund.

Wow how can you curb it?
The little guys really need to learn to do things themselves however it really reaches a point where it is seriously annoying. A general example would be watching them put in bubble bath into the bath – end result almost half the bottle ends in the bath before you can catch the bottle again, or maybe using shampoo – similar function and result. There are two more classics – food – pouring drinks, we invest in paper towels as we go through a ton, the 2nd is not finishing their food, they want more and more when dishing up and tantrums fly when they do not get enough however every time they generally never finish what is dished up for them. Going to restaurants are another classic example – order food they do not want to share – so get their own plates and trues nuts they do not finish their food, doggies bags here we come. It really is frustrating and one of the things I am seriously working on, you see one realy do not want to be a hoverer over your kids however you do want to curb the wastage that accurs. Maybe it is my upbringing having parents that had very little during the war, either way I fully conform to it and find wastage unacceptable – so will keep working on it definitely over the xmas period.
