    I try to lead by example, even when I don't make the right decision. This week I made the mistake of prejudging a guy, and we use it as a teachable moment. Then we talked about school schedules, and I tried to get Syd to try out for the girls wrestling team...She wasn't going for it. Also, we don't think mom is good at math as evidenced by the way she sleeps.

    He's our friend, he's ok with it.

    This week, with putting up an almost complete single night's episode. Earlier in the evening I made a joke about Sydney being very talkative. I said the reason was because she got so much sleep the night before. That set her off for the rest of the evening, and when we started to go to bed I found out that she was still upset. The conversation that followed dug down and we found the root. I'm airing this episode in its entirety so that everyone can hear, start to finish, the sometimes difficult but necessary conversation between parents and children in an effort to fully understand what goes on in their lives and how the way we speak to them affects them.

    Are you still mad?

    I try to teach my kids to stand up for those who can't. This week is a perfect example of when we do that. Even though Syd isn't offended by the behavior of one of her classmates I think it's the kind of behavior that needs to be redirected. And then I find myself in an interesting situation where my prejudice stopped me from truly enjoying somebody's joke.
