a parenting policy
I have given up on having any strong opinions about parenting choices because I have learned every kid is different and (nearly) every behavior is a stage. HOWEVER. I do have one policy: I do not bring presents to children’s birthday parties.
As a Southerner, I don’t believe in showing up to events empty handed, so I will bring: flowers, cards stuffed with $2 bills, fancy ice cream pints, and/or adult beverages for the grownups.
