Link: Train them until you like them

I thought this quote from Gregg Harris at "Making Home" was a gem. It helps to know that maybe Keith and I are on the right track - my goal is not to train the kids to stay out of my hair, my goal is to train them to live in rich relationship with the rest of the family. That necessitates the kids being at my side most of the day. And you know what? The more and longer I've trained them to be happy and with me, the more pleasant they are to be around!
