We've all seen it...we've all had 'em, too. Bad parenting moments out in public. Now, I'm not talking abuse or neglect, but the kind of moments we can all joke about-maybe it takes a while, but eventually they are funny.
When my big kids were younger, I used to point these "bad parenting" moments out to them when were shopping. It usually went a little something like this: "Do you hear that child sreaming? Did you hear what his mommy said/did to him? And what do you think your mommy would do you acted like that in the store?" Those were some of the best conversations. And the funniest.
I am always paying attention to parenting styles and discipline choices when I am around parents and children. When I see "interesting" parenting moments I fight the urge to intervene and offer advice, or sometimes, to take a picture. Now I'm giving you the chance.
Catch one of these "interesting" parenting moments on video or take a quick photo. It can be your moment or a friend, family member or even a stranger! If you don't know the person, make sure you leave their faces out of the video or picture or simply get their permission. OR if you are REALLY techno-savvy you can blur their faces before you upload your video. Once you have uploaded it to The Childcare Queen facebook page, add a caption and spread the word.
The entry with the most "Likes" on November 30, 2010 wins the Target gift card!!

(* REMEMBER: If you don't have permission to post faces...make sure none are visible before you post.)
Contest ends November 30, 2010.
