Parenting: Child vs Adult


Riley and I have very different ideas about parenting, and tonight, I'm afraid to say, I've let him down again.

Riley believes that you should be able to start watching a movie at 7.15 on a week night, I do not.

Riley believes that a child should be able to have a new puppy every year, I do not.

Riley thinks that McDonalds should be eaten daily, I do not.

Riley believes that lollies are as important as fruit and vegetables (actually more important), again, I don't agree.

Tonight, there were tears before bedtime as I'm just not living up to his expectations of a parent. I really hope I am around when he has children so I can nod sagely and say, "I told you so".
