I don’t pay my kids for good grades. That is something I expect from them. Having four kids they all learn differently. For three of them learning and good grades come naturally. But for the other she needs to study hard to get good grades. C’s from any of them are unacceptably. Unless they really didn’t understand the material. Which one would know from looking at their completed homework, quizzes and tests. I do give tons of love, hugs and kisses thou. At the end of school year I do give them a special toy which is a Lego set. I call it end of school year unscathed present.

I am pretty relaxed about parenting and how people parent their children, generally, but I am appalled at the woman potty training her kids in a restaurant! Have you no class or common sense? So many things are wrong with this situation…not to mention how unhygienic it is for everyone around and how gross it is for other patrons!

That potty training in the restaurant is disgusting. seriously, it doesn’t take a kid more than a day or two to potty train, if you’re so worried they might have an accident can’t you just eat at home for a few days?
