It was cool. I didnt do anything. Barely left the house. slept in, never got dressed, just stayed in my pjs. watched tv all day. My cousin William came up from Connecticut, with his kids. So i hung out with him and played with his kids, William the 6th, who is 2, and Adonis Who is 1. My mom and step dad left on friday to San Fransisco. So William and my other cousin Darcy are staying with me and my little brother and sister. Before my mom left she taught little William to call me a bonehead, so all weekend he was calling me that. I think he thinks thats my name now.
Darcy dropped Adonis down the stairs yesterday.He was crying and stuff, and instead of comforting him William told him it was alright, and to be a man. I thought that was weird, and that he should have atleast picked him up and held him for a while, but refrained from saying anything. I thought Hes the parent and knows what to do i guess. After about 5 minutes of crying, Adonis was fine. Which made me think. My brother and sister will scream and cry about anything, a scraped knee, a sliver anything. Maybe thats the reason. My mom babied them all their lives. When little William fell or anything he just got back up and was fine. Different parenting styles i guess. But which one is more efficient?

Reading this, I'm slightly envious, and a little freaked out, your display picture makes it totally not okay to even mention kids.
I think there's a lot to be said for comfort and also for teaching coping skills. They say that a beloved child will be more independent than one who is pushed away because they know that they can explore and adventure and they have a safe place to return. I like your musing. Glad you had a restful weekend.
