[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a similar experience with a friend, who has now moved away. We practically raised our DCs together from a very young age and became very close. As we entered the toddler years, she was clearly exhausted and uninterested in the energy and effort of consistent discipline of an admittedly very active and somewhat aggressive child. Because of the nature of our relationship, I felt comfortable disinclining her child for her when her child was near my child and in my presence. She even appreciated it, and thanked me. I suppose we also had similar parenting philosophies (she just didn't practice them consistently). In my case, it was worth the extra work of watching two kids so I could hang out with a friend who was unfortunately overwhelmed by her high energy child. I imagine it takes a certain level of intimacy for an arrangement like that to work. Best of luck to you with whichever course you peruse![/quote] Arg -- "pursue" [/quote]
