Anyone that has a child knows about the “terrible twos”. If you don’t have a kid let me break it down for you. 1. EVERYTHING is a power struggle. 2. You are ALWAYS wrong.

“Spare the rod and spoil the child.”
Cliff has more to say…. Before you get the pitch forks out, take a minute to read what he is saying. You might not agree with him but he does have some great points. “Spare the rod and spoil the child.” Words that were written in a poem by Samuel Butler in 1664 that should have been a sign post for parents through time.

Excuse me, but can you please get your conversation out of the potty!
Potty training is the “Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread” apparently. Everyone wants to talk about it. For some reason it is everyone’s business to know what is going on in my sons pants.
