That is a motto I love to throw around because I really feel like its true. Lord knows I am not the best parent in the world, I know this but I am not horrible either.

I think when you have kids you need to realize that they pay attention to what you do more then you think.

You are in fact your child(children's) role models until they figure out just how uncool you are and find a shiny new and improved role model hah.

We had a family fun day on Sunday. Hubby the kids, my brother, sister in law and I hung out for a while with the kids at Chuck E Cheeses before we went to Fuddruckers for adult food and fun.

Anyway I was the one left sitting at the table with our belongings and food while the rest of the gang played in the incredibly loud, headache inducing adult torture area that is Chuck e cheeses.

You know the place where a kids can be a kid (loud, obnoxious and run around like a freaking maniac) yeah that place.

So I'm sitting there people watching and I see a child playing the game that encourages pouring mass amounts of tokens into it in hopes of pushing some off a ledge with a moving sweeper. There is the kids acting like a good child playing as it is intended when the child's mother comes over and starts hitting and pushing on the machine!

Um are you a five year old throwing a temper tantrum? What was that all about? This then prompts the same behavior from the child!

I admit it I stared with a dear in the headlights kind of look to get them to realize umm yeah we can see you. This really irked me because when you do things like that in a public place my child can see this just as well as yours.

I have always preached honesty, and accountability from my family. You should never do something that you are afraid to admit! We all make mistakes we are human but if you are honest those mistakes go away faster and you don't have as much regret.

I really do think that cheaters never win as the great equalizer Karma comes back and will eventually bite you in the butt, but even though a ton of people don't agree with that its cool but for goodness sake try to act older then your child and set an example.
