41. Go ahead and
get used to saying: "Stop that."
"Don't do that." "Put that down." "Be quiet." You'll never stop.

her for the recipes.
43. Don't ever tell
your children that they have to pick up their toys or you'll throw them away.
Because the problem is that they don’t want to pick them up in the first

you do tomorrow when they’re bored?
44. You have to set
ground rules with your spouse early on about

45. At least one of
your children will eat their boogers,
one will wipe them on everything and
one will try to give them to you, but

possibly as early as 12.
50.
Baking with your child is NOT NEARLY as fun as it sounds.
