I would add these...This wonderful and so very true! I would add these:<br />Assume that any conflict between your child and another is ALWAYS the other child's fault and insist on talking about how horrible the other child is in front of other children and parents.<br />Do not read ANY newsletters, flyers, etc that are sent home, emailed, and posted. Insist that the teachers never tell you anything.<br />Have your child wear his/her nicest, newest outfits and then complain when they get paint on them.<br />Ignore the fact that teacher has stated many times that the class will go outside every day unless there is ice or a torrential downpour. Never bring your child with appropriate clothing for playing outside. When the other children have their snow clothes, look shocked and say, "I didn't think you'd be going out!" Then try to get the teachers to keep all of the children in instead of having the experience of playing in the snow.pansies and sunflowershttp://www.pansiesandsunflowers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809709352834557002.post-35220903070444830012012-09-09T15:01:46.839-05:002012-09-09T15:01:46.839-05:00GREAT POST!

I must admit- i am partially guilty of #11. Seriously, my daughter brings home a backpack full of paintings, drawings, crafts, etc, ever day. I always ooh and ahh... and set them on the counter. When she isn't looking, I throw them away.

Some parents are just oblivious and they are the ones who will probably live the long happy lives while the rest of us stress ourselves to death trying to make sure we are doing the right thing all of the time ;-)The Preppy Girl in Pinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08301240684051361991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809709352834557002.post-79246085779629513982012-03-02T07:41:33.798-06:002012-03-02T07:41:33.798-06:00This is so sad.
