One time she hit this random old lady at Cracker Barrel who dared sit beside her in a rocking chair. And the lady proceeded to chew us out about how that is NOT how you raise children.<BR/>I was like "apparently she didn't have any then b/c she would remember that at this age, they can be very unpredictable no matter HOW HARD you are trying to raise them right, and how consistent you are.<BR/>(WHich I feel that we are extremely persistent.)
