Right now Zeke is very clingy with me, and I frequently get very frustrated with the "Jesus Christ, you do have more than one parent" type of feeling.

He gets frustrated because he doesn't understand something, but he's either too proud or too ashamed to admit he doesn't know something, so he just tunes out and keeps repeating, "Yeah, yeah, I get it," hoping I'll move on to another subject.<BR/><BR/>Some days I think if the only thing I teach him is that it's o.k., smart even, to admit you don't know something, then I'll have done my job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-20152073488209493642009-01-22T20:22:00.000-05:002009-01-22T20:22:00.000-05:00Tranquilizer guns!
