When In Doubt, Use Parsley: on Dads …

amy lets it rip … in one quick brief blast at bad parenting (specifically: a bad dad on tv) and a longer gorgeous homage to her own most capable husband … daddy to Quinn … (don’t you love the way that italicized capital q goes?)

the smiley part begins:

I am proud of how Andy and I deal with Quinn. I think we’re patient, and kind, and sensitive to her personality. I also think we’re firm when needed, and reliable, and consistent. We say we’re sorry when we’re wrong, and we ask her to do the same. We pay her a lot of attention, but encourage her independence. We both have the exact same philosophies for raising her, so she is never going to be able to play us against one another.

[[beware (mom): the opening thundery part contains some ... uh ... inventive angry bad language ... ]]

preach it, amy …
