1. Do you make your kids finish all the food on their plates?
Nope. Never have and never will. That causes bad food habits. I do try to encourage the girls to take only what they will eat or to take a little and go back for more if they wish.
2. Do you give an allowance?
Again, no. I don't believe that at this age it actually teaches financial responsibility. They will learn that latter in life. My girls get plenty of toys, snacks, and treats at various times, and it all depends on what is happening at the time.
3. Do you actually park your car in the garage?
Nope!
4. What is one food you will NEVER cook?
Preferably all of them! Ug, I really hate cooking. I can't really say there is anything I would never cook. You never know what kind of strange ideas we will come up with in this house!
5. Do you have anything exciting planned for the summer?
My husband and I are hoping to take a day trip to the Grand Canyon Deer Farm with the kids. We got married there, and it's been a long time since we've been able to go back and visit. Hopefully things will be calm enough for this to happen for us. I'm really looking forward to it.
Other than that, I am excited that I will be teaching two fun summer school classes. Both are based on the historical fiction book called "Chains" by Laurie Halse Anderson. The morning session will be a literature study of the book. The afternoon session will be writing and putting together a newspaper based on the time period. It should be a lot of fun. I'm hoping my principal will let my girls join me even though they don't attend my school. I think they would enjoy the class and I know they would add a lot to the discussions.

I always park in the garage. I doubt I'll ever cook liver.
I had a babysitter who used to force me to sit at the table until I ate every last bite, even when I was crying. I often wonder if that is partly behind my bad eating habits. I don't make my kids eat everything but if they only take a few bite and then ask to be done, I try to get them to take just a couple more. ...
I also hate cooking! But I'm the only one in the house who will cook. My husband used to cook once in awhile but he hasn't cooked in ages (besides easy chicken nuggets and french fries that he just throws in the oven). I will never cook FISH. I hate fish.. I can't stomach any type of seafood. Luckily, my husband doesn't like fish either so it's not a problem.
My hubby cooks a lot which is good. I'm not into cooking anything like liver, brains etc and know I never will be.
Sounds like you have some fun things to look forward to, hope it all works out well
I am a new follower from a Monday blog hop. We have a fun camping trip planned this summer and maybe some white water rafting which I'm excited about. Feel free to follow me back! www.iheartpears.blogspot.com
Hubba, that sounds like an exciting summer. My husband and I both enjoy staying at home and aren't very adventurous, but I bet you will have a great time. Happy summer!
My kids never finish their plates. My oldest is a good eater (now), my youngest. That's a story for another day!!
I also do not park in the garage. I wish I did, b/c the salt air really does a number on my car.
I never park in the garage either!! And i need to step back from insisting that my son finish his meals fully. Agree with the financial responsibility bit too.
The summer trip sounds so exciting...I hope you can enjoy it and enjoy a peaceful time...hugs...Anne
