  Em, that would mean accepting the fact that your child isn't perfect, and there are a lot of mothers out there who would rip your eyes out for even suggesting such a thing.
Plus, we're all raised to think different things are acceptable, so we'd just get a lot of conflicting opinions, and I don't know about you, but when I'm trying to do something and someone comes up and says "my mom never did it that way," I just kind of want to smack them. And that goes for men and women, at least for me. Besides, have you ever dated a mama's boy? Remember Josh and the Chicken Soup letters? We always say we want someone who is pre-trained, but really, that's not always good, especially if their mom broke their spirit long ago.
If anyone is going to break my husband's spirit, it's going to be me. And that's why I'm still single. :) No, but really, are we doing the training or are they? Have I trained my cats to leave my bedroom in the morning by giving them treats or have they trained me to give them treats before I leave and it's just easier for them to all be together when I hand them out? Chris, still waiting on that dream. There should be more surrealism in the world, after all...:)
