I won't taunt you guys, although I hope to be haPpy. I'm here two years before schoool starts taking notes so that whatever trouble I face I will remember how another family has solved that problem.
I did tease my mom and told her about this place. I said all the mothers have the Internet now and can ask each others advice in similar places. How much easier would your motherhood time have been? I told her specifically about a thread where a dozen mothers have admitted to grounding their dc (who read 30 books a week) from reading. She loves to tell of an arguement we had, "how can you ground me from reading!? All the other mothers WANT their kids to read!"
I have to agree with Tracygyns, "hothousing" assumes kids naturally dread learning or are trying to avoid it. Pure nonsense. Let it go in one ear out the other.
