[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]-Always following the rules - I have been teaching my kids to know the rules and think about them but consider whether they make sense, and keep in mind there are times to break the rules. If you're supposed to be silently reading in class but there's a fire, it's okay to yell fire, for example. 
-Watching family friendly movies with a good positive message that you want your kids to learn - uh, no way. I watch what I want to watch. Entertainment is art. My kids know not to repeat certain words, and some concepts are not to be talked about with people.  
-Eating healthy balanced meal - sure sometimes. And sometimes we have yogurt and a banana for dinner. The other day we had pizza for breakfast.

I curse sometimes, slap my kids hands when they go to touch something they shouldn't, and yell sometimes too. I don't strive to be perfect. That's not attainable, and I feel zero need to drive myself crazy. Do I volunteer weekly? Yes. Am I sometimes kind to strangers? Yes. Do I hold the elevator door for people? Absolutely not. Did we once give DD's best friend whose family had been VERY kind to DD an Easter basket one year? Also yes. There's balance. [/quote]

You don’t hold the elevator door?!?!  What is wrong with you??[/quote]

Nothing - I've got places to be. If you're slow, too bad - wait for the next one. [/quote]
