I loved #10. I remember my childhood a lot more like the author does- we didn’t have much money and we had great parents, but we had to fend for ourselves a lot. Bored? Either find something to do or get chores. Want a new book/toy? Start saving your 50 cents/week allowance, kiddo! I think a lot of what I am today comes from this mentality- in a good way. Thanks for sharing!

  Pretty close to how I was raised as well. We’re trying really hard to make Cooper’s childhood reflect our own! It’s been kinda crazy to see so many other parenting styles of other kids at school in the process!

I think we should get matching bread bags and ride around on lowrider bikes in August – sound like a plan? Good.
