DYK I have friends whose kids don't know where their HOME is, b/c they are constantly shuffled and they will just fall asleep ANYWHERe and often do. Have no bedtime, nap as late as 5pm and then are up until midnight...
DYK I catch flack at times b/c we are religious with bedtime
but
DYK my kids are in bed by 7pm most nights 8pm on special occasions and sleep through the night (for the most part - Abigail sometimes wets the bed and comes in to us)
DYk I opt out of many things b/c of my kids being in bed
DYK I love that they are in bed when they are b/c the 90% of the time that we have nothing going on that we have to opt out of - we get 4-5 hours in the evening kid free!!

LOL at throwing a biscuit at him
DYK my SIL (the one I like...) tried to talk to my DH because apparently she noticed he forgets his family when with his Momma?
DYK he couldn't figure out what he was saying?
DYK there was "mental disconnect" written all over his face?
DYK that's when I decided to be okay with it??
DYK my kids are 6,4,and 2 now so its easier!!
DYK part of why its so funny is its so opposite of him at home!
DYK one of my closest mommy friends is non-schedule with her kids?
DYK I don't know how she does it!!!
DYK it seems to work though!
DYK my parents always took us to card parties when it was just my sister and I and we were expected to go to sleep in the other room?

DYK my kids are excellent sleepers, too
DYK bedtime is bedtime, mommy needs some time to recover before morning!!
LOL
DYK wow, I just learned a lot about parenting from you ladies?
DYK it makes my schedule seem super tame?
DYK I totally understand all the in-law issues?
DYK Pete's younger brother got engaged last month, set the wedding date to Dec. 2008, but secretly set the date to Dec. of this year?
DYK he was scared to tell his mom because she would try to talk him out of it, so they were just going to keep it secret and not tell any family?
DYK when I found out I told his fiance to tell him to be a man because it wasn't worth lying about? (seriously, grow a pair man!)
DYK he actually listened and told his mom last week?
DYK she seemed ok with it, but
DYK my MIL wanted my DH to wear a white tuxedo as a sign of his purity?
DYK he graciously declined??
hee hee that always gets me
HYK that's funny about the tux? LOL
DYK it amazes me sometimes how my husband doesn't find the things she says as inappropriate?
DYK when I told him about the sex question, he gave me a blank stare followed by, "what's wrong with that? she's his mom."
DYK oh man, I still have my work cut out for me!!!

DYK I impressed you said something to him and quite possibly saved the family from a HUGE implosion?
DYK I keep saying I am learning as much (if not more) about parenting on this board
