You Might Be a RAD Parent If...

Have you seen Jeff Foxworthy's "You Might Be a Redneck If..." lists? Well, my list includes many of the comments and behaviors I've seen from my RAD Cutie. Enjoy!

...you've heard, "I hate you and you hate me...forever!"

...you've been hit, punched, bit, slapped, kicked, and head-butted before 9:00am.

...your child hugs total strangers with the same intensity she/he hugs you.

...you find candy wrappers under beds, behind the toilet, and between couch cushions and know your child has snuck most of his/her Halloween candy in the first week.

...your child picks the locks you've placed on the pantry and fridge.

...your child smacks siblings for seemingly no reason.

...you have developed cat like reflexes to avoid the scratches of your child

....you've seen bananas, flip flops, and pencils flying across your kitchen propelled by your child's frustration and anger.

...your child uses witty comments, smiles, and/or compliments to charm nearly everyone he/she meets.

...your child makes you laugh, cry, and want to scream all within 5 minutes.

...you love your child with all your heart and wish he/she knew it.
