Moms who know better than you
Find a Conversation

Kind of joking there. But the other day I met a mom who was certain she knew which area schools were the best. I told her my children are happily in public school, but upon entering middle school and/or upon entering 8th grade, if any of mine wants, then we'll take a tour of all of the schools in the area ~ private, several Catholic. Not a Catholic, lol, she told me unequivocally that, yes, I needed to take my children on a tour of the local Catholic schools NOW because they are the best schools in the area. Because of course her kids went there. Her children graduated from high school long ago, but I never quite got my answer on what they were all doing now. 
Anyway, the "conversation" (monologue?) continued until my friend saw me cornered. Has this kind of thing happened to you ~ older mom telling you how to do it better? How do you handle moms with children older than yours who are a little too liberal and pushy with their advices? ....Have you ever been that mom?

I always find it interseting to see what sticks with my kids....my mom and I just had this discussion the other day about one of my kids memories with her. It was great.

As Oscar Wilde once said, there are too many people nowadays who know the "price of everything and the value of nothing." I'm afraid we've fallen down that particular rabbit hole again, PKA.
Except of course, you always mention money when it comes to memories and you don't have any examples of free memories in your life. Think about that for awhile.
Not really, I was answering your "free" memory ideas.
pack them full of pleasant and stimulating activities and see what stuck.
You mean like an experiment ?!
I was afraid you might think so.
Raising kids is full of uncertainties, if that's what you mean. You go with "best odds" and hope and pray it all turns out.
Those nice hotels don't count, Haha! <3
So then what exactly are you disagreeing with for multiple posts? Why constantly disagree if you are not missing the point?

You go on for post after post about how wonderful your area because everything is so close and etc and you can't come up with a single example of making a free or low cost memory in your area? Wow.
