I was reading Parenting School Years this afternoon and came across this top ten list that I just had to share.

Top Ten Things that are okay NOT to share with your kids

1. Your cheesecake

2. Your private potty time.

3. Your rationale for deciding who gets to sit by the window.

4. Your wild, semi-legal pastimes during your teen years - and that weekend they spent at Grandmas.

5. That, believe it or not, you want to yell way more than you do.

6. that Elmo is just a woolly puppet with a 48-year-old's hand up his butt.

7. That, come Monday morning, you're often incredibly psyched to go to work.

8. That sometimes you go weeks without eating vegetables.

9. That, no, you really don't want to hear her sing the barney song again, right this very second.

10. But that she should go ahead because you'll be so sad when she's too old and cool to offer.
