I can't explain it-Omar is the "fun" parent and I am the..well I guess "useful" one?? ;0<br />Clay-yes..I would need lots and lots of luck! I think maybe if I went on vacation-ALONE, they might figure it out...but I'm afraid that even though I wasn't there, they would find a way to reach me...cell phone at 3 a.m. looking for a snack...sigh :)kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07648854807234137885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508619860116485212.post-51481302924680884182009-12-03T18:24:31.294-05:002009-12-03T18:24:31.294-05:00I think you should ask your husband to take the in...I think you should ask your husband to take the initiative once in a while, to make them a lunch or set up a snack on the table, and call the kids to come join him. It seems some old habits need to be broken.
