How to parent like a boss?

Welcome to my first how to raise your kids post!

I have plenty of ideas on how to raise your kids. You can be strict with them so that they snap to attention at the ready. You can let them run free so that their spirits are nurtured. You could even do both and leave your kids wondering what is going on with their insane parents!

Awww! Brother love... for now.

I read tons of articles about parenting. It is my continuing education for my job. 

The best thing I ever read though was from a book that my great-grandmother used. It talked about Sunday. Sunday was to be the day that the children spend with their fathers while the mother cooked in the kitchen. Ha! It was the day that the children have their father all to themselves. My favorite part of this section discussed the desire for the mother to interfere. It warns that doing so would undermine your husbands ability to form lasting relationships with his children. It may sound old fashioned, but I felt it was a very current statement.

Dad does it different. Thank God for that, right? Could you imagine if their were two of you? The kids would always win. They know how to get under your skin. Take your Sunday's (or whatever day you can) for you. It might make Monday a little easier.
