Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, we are not carbon copies. We are working on the following of directions here. My stepgoats seem to know how to listen to their teachers, but I sound like a broken record (which they don't know about). They kick my ass in Pokemon, though.

Ever since the HD cable box was replaced, my DVD player no longer works and we're now watching all DVDs on the PS2 instead. My knowledge of running a DVD with the PS2 is marginal at best and consists of pressing buttons randomly until it does what I want it to do. And I'M the technoligically minded member of the family. Scary, huh? Can you send your kids to my house? Ever since the HD cable box was replaced, my DVD player no longer works and we’re now watching all DVDs on the PS2 instead.

Perhaps that's where attention-deficit disorder stems from?

IE: All kids think they are owed everything under the sun and then some. I have tried so very hard to teach my girls they need to work for something they really want. For the most part, it's worked but ...... something always crops up that they figure that we, as parents, must get them. They neeeeeeed it, they want it, they have to have it because everyone else does. Ha, I say, as I begin yet another life lesson with them. They tend to look fondly on The Good Old Days where Mum had no VCR and her hair wasn't chemically dependent. The days where we played outside (gasp - the horror of it all) for hours upon end even when those damn frozen solid mitts chafed your wrists raw. And you didn't trip over your shoelaces!

Oh wait, that wasn't what you were asking. I shall consider this and return later. In my experience most children are pretty short. Oh wait, that wasn’t what you were asking.
