[quote=Anonymous]I think teaching your kids that you really can't take yourself too seriously, or demand that everyone else take you too seriously, is one of our highest and best uses as a parent.  This is really the ol' "its the journey and the destination" adventure. We want to produce well-adjusted, humorous, fun adults that contribute to society and have empathy (well, that's my goal), we have to do that in the real world (in this case, DC-area, which means we don't have copious amounts of spare money or time), and we want to have fun on the journey (well, I do -- in fact, I insist on it as the journey is going to be most of the mobile years of my remaining life span!). Making time for fun and for us to be happy people, as well as happy parents, is hugely important, because if we aren't happy and enjoying ourselves, we simply can't teach our kids how to do those things. So, cutting corners in certain aspects is absolutely necessary, for me, anyway.  Honestly, I think those that don't get caught up in minutiea. And I think way too often we let our fear of each others' judgment rain on our own little happy parades. Well, I for one, refuse.  I not being supermom means that my kid has a fun mom, I choose that.
