I Say, Ask Why

Then What

Ask why and hope for an answer ... but will it be what you want to here? Or worse, it could be what you want to hear but still a lie. I guess it depends on what the topic is... if my children ask why I do try to answer the best that I can. Of course if it's something like "Why do we have to go there" then the "Because I said so" answer come in. LOL

    I have driven with 3 children in my vehicle at various ages. Having spent most of my youth as a Nanny besides my full time job for an ungrateful set of parents I know whereof I speak despite not being a biological mother to any offspring! Don't underestimate them, ignore them or dismiss what is important to them unless that is how you want them to relate to you.



    I say why can't the answer they want to hear be the truth as well?

    Until you are driving with a teen in the passenger seat texting her friends while singing "Crank that soilder boy", a toddler behind you pulling your ponytail through the headrest and a baby pissed off because she wants a bottle. At that point the fact that I don't run is enough.

    I think children are intelligent enough to deserve a respectful answer to all their inquiries.
