As a mom of 3 and wife of another 1, I find myself at the end of the day grumpy and a tad resentful. This is a great way to get the family to notice that what we do affects others, whether it be good or bad. I have to wonder if the naysayers may be exaggerating their own patience just a little?

Your 4 year old is adorable! I need one of these for Christmas. Shoppingis always such a pain because I try to only buy American made toys (MUCH safer, higher quality, and keeps Americans employed). A friend of mine stumbled upon a great website (http://www.americantoystore.com/) that only carries American-Made toys, and TONS of them. . . Between the website and my new "fridge face," I think this year's shopping is lookng smoother already! Thanks again for sharing! This is a FANTASTIC idea! Your 4 year old is adorable!

Can't believe some of the judgmental comments you received! "If you have time..." good grief! That person must have robots for children. :) Great idea!

I did something similar for my children... I made little drawings of "twins"... "Princess Sweetiepie" and "Lady Fussbudget." Then I tried to point out throughout the day when their behavior lined up with the characters... My son had "Prince Braveheart" and "Sir Grump." It really worked, my kids still talk about it though the pictures are long gone. :-) Very nice!!

This is a great idea, a wonderful way to easily show how we have an effect on others, and it can be adapted to other situations. :D Found you on Twitter today. Amazing!!!

Thu, 23 Jul 2009 22:23:55 +0000 http://www.owlhaven.net/?p=3901#comment-35157 Thank you, thank you! I must admit, I feel guilty wehn I'm a grouch, but it is indeed true- I don't wake up that way! My children do it to me! I will have to try this to demonstrate to my kids how their actions, while spread apart (each child may only be responsible for 1/3 of the problems) truly add up and affect my ability to be kind and gentle. Instead, they push me to grouchy, irritable, and short. Thanks for sharing. Pastormac's Ann sent me this link. Thank you, thank you!
