We stay in our PJs until noon, we eat pancakes instead of oatmeal for breakfast and if we want to watch Cinderella 10 times then we do. I agree with this to an extent but before we had chidlren we also had a life. We have a routine that we all try to adhear to and we make a lot of sacrifices and commitments since our decision to be parents. However, we will not do what our child wants at the drop of a hat. We set limits but are also very lenient.
Daily routines are very important to children.
This is their basis of security. Children also do not take well to transition or their routine being interrupted. When my dauther's routine is interrupted by vacation or something else, this is when she is most miserable. If there is anything that I want my child to learn from me it is that everyone deserves their own time and to have their own life. I give my child A LOT of my time, love and attention.
