I think Kevin and Lori should take a parenting class. Audrey is the same age as my youngest DD and she would never think about putting her feet up on the table or putting a whole butter ball in her mouth. I think it is all in how you were raised and also how you want your child to be raised. IMHO, you can spoil kids to a degree, but you also have to give them boundaries. I think you also have to choose your battles but you also have to have consistency in how you choose them. My DD's know if they want dessert when we are eating out they have to eat their veggies/fruit. Now, they don't have to eat all of it but they do have to eat a fair amount. I try to have them eat those first and the main part of the meal last. That way I know they got a good mix of healthy food. You can be friends with your kids but you also have to be the boss! Now that I got sidetracked.
Great TR!!! Started to read your new one and it sounds like you guys got the vacation you had hoped for last time!!!
