Is the saying "Because I said so" I'm so glad that you touched on that subject. That is one thing, I will never tell my child. There should always be a reason behind something, or else our children will not get the picture, I always thought that they we're just being bully's. When really the problem was that they were just to lazy to really explain to me the real reasoning behind it. I could go on and on about the things that my parents shouldn't of done or said to me but, in looking back at it.. it doesn't make me happy to think about the things they shouldn't of done. I try to focus on the things that they were great at. I seem to look at life a lot differently now that I lost my mother, my best friend, a couple years ago. I appreciate her so much more because I can step back and take a look at everything from a third perspective. This is how we should look at parenting to. Stop being Lazy! Take initiative and have fun!!! One of the most important things that I have learned from and always disturbed me as a child.

If she saw them climbing a tree she would shout out "Be careful, you'd fall!" and true enough they would fall. My younger one who's in his teens is now afraid of heights. If only they were allowed to explore and be a little naughty and climb not only on trees but on our heads sometimes it would have been great. Funny when I was little I was allowed to climb trees. Lucky for me my grandmother wasn't around to see that. When my boys were little my mother would be so worried when they climbed trees or do something "dangerous".
