I never thought I would be THAT parent. I mean, this must be the Lord's way of getting me back for all the unsolicited advice I've passed on to my friends in my childless years. I always thought - MY child will not be carried all the time. MY child will learn how to entertain herself. MY child will learn how to calm herself. Well, I am THAT parent who is the pot that calls the kettle black. This is mine & Gary's newest way of trying to keep our daughter from crying all the time. We realized how stupid we were when we looked at this pic. Now we are on day 2 of the Hunt-Ferberizing method. Emily is in her bed screaming for someone to pick her up. So far it isn't working. Does it really take 3 weeks to form a habit? How long does it take to break a bad one?
