The Oneida County Sheriff's Office issued a chilling warning to parents that this seemingly innocent back to school trend is actually the worst possible thing they can do to their kids.
It's a tough time of year for parents, as kids are coming home from school disappointed that they didn't make the school spring sports team that they tried-out for. It's hard to have that right thing to say, especially when you are coming home from a long day of work with your own troubles. Perspective on both sides of the ball help in this situation.
My 3-year-old son has been a champ using his potty lately at home and at daycare and I didn't want to break the momentum yesterday, but when I took him to a basketball game at the Times Union Center all hell broke loose. When he told me he needed to go pee, I proudly took into one of the bathrooms, but was clearly ill-prepared for what to do once we got there.
