We learn so much from our Moms. It’s sometimes hard as adults to realize that our life-views grow wildly apart, but some basic tenets remain no matter your politics, religion, or views on raising children. The peanutonesweblog looks at several great Mom tips,
- If you make the recipe the exact same way every time, measuring every item precisely, it will turn out the same way every time. This will be a good thing, until your family gets bored of this dish. When your cooking is more unpredictable, you don’t need as many recipes in your reportoire. However, you may find that dinner is occasionally inedible.
- Using paper plates for every meal will make your children exclaim over how fancy their friends are when they use “the real china,” thus exposing them as uncultured hicks.
On a more serious note, some things I’ve learned from my Mom include: 1) Sometimes trusting your own instinct is more powerful than a doctor’s advice. Moms know when something is OR IS NOT wrong. 2) Popping your false teeth out can distract and startle a crying toddler enough to stop the wails. And 3) Be bold in your threats to involve “Dad” when kids do bad things. They are gruff, but lovable after all.
