Go See Bubble - Blog Maverick - www.blogmaverick.com _

This is a wonderful concept and idea for all parents with children. Same day movie releases (theatres, DVD & Internet) now allows me to maintain conversations with my single co-workers who have the time to see movies while they are still in the theatres. I usually see the movie 9-18 mths later and no one cares to discuss them by that time. Thanks Mark….

Saturday Night: Police Lineup or Convenience Store Holdup?

Originally uploaded by Janusfinder.

The other day my wife and I started to realize that BJ, our son, is one of the least behaved children in his pre-school. This is a parent’s worst nightmare. Now your child is the focus of other parents and teachers’ comments and concerns. So nightly we are working on things for him to increase his focus and parenting closely with his behavior. The school has a rating system on a board and green=good day, yellow=so so day and red=YOUR CHILD HAD A BAD DAYYYY!!!. Yesterday he was on Green. I will keep you posted on his progress.

Quote Details: Bill Cosby: I don’t know the… - The Quotations Page
I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.
Bill Cosby
US comedian & television actor (1937 - )

This includes our children. As a parent we have to realized that we can’t please them all the time or they will grow up to be spoiled brats. I had to spend most of yesterday evening telling my son “no.” He stopped me and asked why was I using the word so much to him and it made me think that sometimes he doesn’t hear the word enough. You can also re-phase it to, “not right now,” “maybe later” or ” Don’t pull the dogs tail like that.”
