it's all in what works for your family

I don't believe that children that have parents that work outside of the house are at a disadvantage... I also don't believe that children that have a parent that stays at home somehow benifit.

We take kids and ourselves to recommended restaurants that we personally know little about. We love ethnic specialties: Cambodian, Thai, Guatemalan, Vietnamese, Cuban...rarely a kids menu offered.
My kids like grains, noodles, rice, vegetables, meats, seafood so there is usually something they'll find to order.
It is usually a success, occasionally a disaster, but it's always an adventure.
About the only thing I can say is that we rarely try Indian anymore. I have a friend who invites us for Indian vegetarian that the kids love, and the Indian restaurants in our vicinity just can't match.
I'd rather get it done in one trip. We needed new shoes and socks for the school year - the boys grew from a size 3 to size 5 and 6 in past 6 months. We tried 6 different types before an acceptable seem was found.
Adult socks apparently are different than children's socks according to my child with sensory issues. We'll be ordering online Ralph Lauren Polo socks by the gross in the future. Non-sensory issue boy thinks they look ok, so he's on board with the selection.
BTW - I buy about 6 pairs of athletics socks per year for myself (I run), my boys go through about 50 pairs per year. What's up with that?
does it somehow make you feel good about yourself to suggest that my kids are tricky little brats? i really don’t understand that, on several levels. obviously, the kid who would dump the plastic bag on the floor is *not* the kid (like mine) who would pick the backpack up when asked to, but the kid who would defy the request so his or her parent had to follow up with the initial consequence of taking the backpack away.
What about..."No thank you, I don't want to speak nicely to others."
