When I read this prompt I couldn't think of anything significant that I've ever let slide with any of my kids.
I decided that this made me sound really anal, or even petty, so I decided that justification was in order!
Hence all these pictures of my kids at end of 2008 prizegiving. There's even one of Simmi's prizes (just so she's not left out).
I tend not to let anything significant slide, and I believe that these pictures of my kids' achievements are partially a result of that. I feel proud of them for achieving, and proud of myself for persevering even when I didn't feel like it. It's just a pity I can't seem to apply the same principals to losing weight or keeping within my monthly budget!!!

I wish I could say I didn't let my kids slide on things sometimes, but I do. Maybe because they are still so little.
Thanks for stopping by!
You did something right!
I'll second blueviolet - you did something right.
A little strictness never hurt any child!
Are you available for loan? I have 3 kids that could use some of what you have going on!
we didn't let our son get away with a whole lot...until he was in the hospital in november. ever since then, he has me even more firmly wrapped around his finger.
WOW! Your kids are acievers for sure!!!
As for the writer's workshop, since there are so many participants I tend to stop by the one's who leave me a comment FIRST. I feel like it's only fair I return the love...sometimes I don't even get through all of them. I NEVER make it through that list!! But I always try. :) Make sure to leave me a comment on those days and at the very least you'll be one of the first on my list! Thanks for participating though...at least you're writing!!!
