I can remember long ago...when I was still a child, thinking that I would be able to one day do things differently than my mother and father. Not in a rebellious way (I wasn't a rebellious child but knew myself and my own mind even then) but just knowing that I would be able to make my own family's decisions.
I was glad that I would be able to do things differently. Most of the really important ones are of course, life changing-eternity and victorious living changing but some of them, and the ones I am speaking of here, are just every day, run of the mill things. Kinda like that last sentence.
Here are some things that we do differently.
If you don't like it, you don't have to eat it. (this being said with kids that love veggies so I am not talking about the "Ewwwwww, I don't wanna eat it" spoiled kid thing. I'm talking if you do not like peas, lima beans, brussel sprouts, you do not have to eat them. Lauren does not like rice. Sloan does not like eggs. If I make a meal they do not like, (generally spicy ones) then you may have a PB&J.
Yep, I am glad that I have the authority to say, it's ok, you don't have to eat it.
At our house you can also enjoy as long a shower as you would like, a long phone call, pierced ears before 16 and a turn in Mom's bed. There must be others, but you get the picture.

and my kids aren't having to wash walls every week.
