Date: 2009-05-02 12:33 am (UTC)Neti Pot: We have a saline thingy too, but it's a cold but powerful mister thing; agh, what a description. I'd choke on a Neti Pot, but the 'snorter' (Mere's name, I think, originally) works very well.
"I got a day. I need more days like it, and I won't get them.": Too true. One of the parts of parenthood that goes beyond the glow is that damn, it's hard work and a lot of attention to details for the kid - and anticipation that the kid will do Stupid and you have to watch for Stupid and prevent it the best way that you can. Foolish and Hazardous also play in that game with Stupid, and your best bet is always to work on how the kid will look out for themselves.
This migrates. It starts with making sure they get to sleep on time, and once they learn the basics, then you go on to Remembering Homework, Doing Chores, and Coming Home When They're Supposed To. Bigger and better, right up to Don't Buy That Car.
The point of there being two parents is to spell each other - ah, the art of tag-team parenting.
Good daycare people know more than thee or me as to how to handle and work with Small Critters. They do it all the time, we just freelance for a couple of years. Ditto teachers. I don't have quite the skill set to be the perfect kid teacher.
The Chinese takes work, and I dunno - how much of a Taiwanese dialect does he have? *That* part would daunt me. I looked over Cantonese in regard to Mere, and decided, nope, I'll try for straight Beijinger Mandarin, no chaser, because if she's going to deal (or me either) with Chinese, that's the 'standard' used, and everything else is looked at as Hooterville Speak.
