Bad Parenting Habit #97

Sometimes, I get one of my children to do something they really do not want to–say, brushing teeth–by telling them that the responsibility and cooperation they exhibit doing the task will make their sibling look bad. The speed with which they undertake the chose is kinda funny.Lola gave me the idea. She used to have this very obvious habit of being well-behaved whenever Oliver was getting in trouble for the opposite. I say "used to" because now, it seems, they take great joy in heading down the same dark path together. At full speed.
