How normalcy is better than bribery
-Stephanie Elliot, BettyConfidential.com
I used to think it took bribery to get kids to clean up their rooms ... but apparently now all it takes is a brand new President.
That's right. Kids are actually excited about cleaning up their rooms and making their beds because Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, make their own beds.
Who knew?
Parents across the country are looking to the Obama family as
role models on how to raise their own children. From their chores
to their bedtime to what the girls are allowed to watch on television and
what they read at night, all parenting eyes are on this family.
The fascination is simple. It's because they are
NORMAL. The Obamas are regular people and they are raising
their daughters not to be diva snobs in a celeb-obsessed world.
They are raising them to be young ladies - polite, good citizens
who make their bed. And read Harry Potter
and watch SpongeBob with dad. I'm
quite certain that whatever type of dog they end up choosing,
there'll be a fire sale of that breed as soon as it's
chosen! Everybody is following their lead. Because it's a good
lead to follow.
