SnB


I left Vicki and her glorious garden in time to go to Stitch n Bitch with the girls. It was a large group and we chat about Crystal’s day dealing with second graders (she is a teacher) and their lame parents who never show up for the tudents on parent's day or any other time to see how their kid is doing but only show up to question her teaching when the child pees his pants when she told him to go to the bathroom if he couldn't wait. Here is an idea, let the teachers teach and when the kid is not in school, do the job of a parent. Ween the kids off sugar and processed food, limit the video games and TV time and make learning a priority because it is shocking to hear that the books in a middle school are for a third grade reading level! I know it isn’t easy being a parent and my hat certainly goes off to all who take on such a huge responsibility but when my sister can raise her daughter (who’s deadbeat dad disappeared years ago) while working full time and Mandy started college as a sophomore, it can be done. Now if you are planning on having 16 children, like I read on the internet today about a family in Arkansas, uhh, good luck.
