(13,400 posts)with me. I don't have kids but I was one. I remember exactly how my brother, sister and I behaved and what my parents did to accomplish that.
I see what some parents do right and how other screw it up. I do not have to have my own kids to understand. I don't have kids because of extreme caution and a little luck when I was younger.
I could say that not having kids allows me to actually observe other situations more objectively. I'm also and expert grampa. They are my girlfriends grand kids but I handle them great. The two year old boy that is an absolute demon at home is a perfect young gentleman around me. I pay attention to him, hear him and we have a great time. He doesn't have to act up to get attention around us like he does at home. His parents pay more attention to their tv and computers than they do their kids.
