BellaOnline Forums Relationships Married No Kids Grr and Ick

That's nice Ingilbert. That kid is lucky to have such nice friends interested in him (and setting a good example for him as well!).

Ingilbert:

That's a great use of reverse psychology with the neighbor's kids. It works the other way, too. You can get them to rake leaves, or something else adults don't enjoy, and they think it's really cool.

I gotta admit, I like the kid a lot. So does my husband. And I do think that we're good role models for him, too. He makes me feel old, though, because I remember when he was born - he was the first newborn I ever babysat! I babysat his brother and sister for a few years even before he was born!
