Daily Kup (Life Goes On)The kids are starting to respond to the discipline of Sergeant Mom's Home for Wayward Youth. Chores and study were completed today with minimal fuss, though it still takes until nearly mid-afternoon. I'm a little too Earth Mother for Marine-style boot camp but I'm starting to see the tear-them-down-and-then-build-them-back-up philosophy in a whole new, albeit khaki, light. If I go back into management, a lot of these techniques will be freakishly transferable.
The school held a kindergarten meet-and-greet on the playground this evening. Picture dozens of kindergartners swarming in brightly-colored tubes while adults wearing name tags nodded and chatted. In retrospect, the school was doing a platoon psych on the parents. We've bonded without the crew cuts.
