Day 4 of the Parenting Experiment: All We Can Stand!

It's Day Four of the Duct Tape Parenting book experiment. My wife and I are not "nagging" our daughters to do what they are supposed to be doing, and, let me tell you, I can't wait to finish this thing...It's hard!

I woke up this morning and the dishes hadn't been done. I had just assumed they had been done, so I started frying my eggs, and when I reached for the spatula, it wasn't there. I also made a huge smoothie (as I do many mornings) and I fill up this extra large cup I got years ago from an amusement park. Today...no cup! So, I filled up two normal size cups and used them instead.

My wife, Mary, told me, "I can't stand this any more!" Our twelve year old daughter tried on Mar's boots, took them off in the garage and just left them there. My wife was happy she stumbled across them. Our daughter also borrowed my wife's scarf, which was found on a random shelf in the house. 

But, we duct tape our mouths and say nothing. Mary takes notes. I take photos and on Sunday we have a talk with the girls about what worked, what doesn't and the next step (changes) that we'll take.

One more day...Pray for us!

    Leon Scott Baxter has been called "America's Romance Guru" as well as "The Dumbest Genius You Will Ever Meet." Could one man actually be both?
