Momosphere: 11.13.09

Here’s some of our favorite posts this week:
Lessons From the Bag of the Ineffective Parent; Mom-101.com
Blogger Liz needed to give her daughter eyedrops, but the little one politely declined. OK, it wasn’t polite; there was plenty of wailing and thrashing. Liz then broke open her bag of ineffective parenting tricks. She writes, “I asked nicely. I asked not so nicely. … I raised my voice. I stroked her hair. I offered her candy. I offered her cookies. I threatened her with no TV. I stopped just short of threatening to send her off to the circus to be raised by clowns. Really, it was like the worst episode of ‘SuperNanny’ you’ve ever seen.”
Chocolate Poisoning; MommyTracked.com
Are you helping yourself to your kids’ Halloween candy? My husband and I limit how much Halloween candy our boys can have each day, but we don’t bother with any limits for us. I’ll even admit to recently having a dinner comprised of only Halloween candy. It’s shameful, and blogger Stefanie Wilder-Taylor knows my shame. She writes, “Just while I was writing those last three sentences I consumed a mini Baby Ruth, a mini Nestle Crunch, a red strawberry flavored hard candy, a vanilla tootsie roll and two small boxes of Dots. It’s all I can do to not go get more.”
Turning a Corner: The Little Helper; Surrender, Dorothy
Every once in a while a normal child briefly becomes the perfect child. When you ask them to do something, they actually do it without whining. It’s a stunning, fleeting moment that should be cherished. Blogger Rita Arens’ daughter recently transformed into such a child. Rita writes, “Every time she finished a task, she looked at me expectantly. ‘What else can I do, Mommy?’ In between tasks, she sat on her little stool, hands folded demurely in her lap. I wasn’t sure I knew this kid, but I liked her. A lot.”
