- You should think twice when you're in your car, in the front seat, rolling your rear windows up with the power window locks. You might roll up your five-year-old's hands with the windows so they're smushed.
- Not advisable to scream at your three-year-old and shake her. She then shuts down during arguments with you for the rest of her life.
- When your two-year-old wakes up early on a Saturday morning and you were up late playing Magic with your friends, turning on Sesame Street week in and week out seems like a viable option until she's 14 and watching the Kardashians for entertainment.
- Not outlining dating rules ahead of time and then yelling at your seventeen-year-old because she didn't understand the rules will probably be something you will regret later.
- Missing every single field trip during elementary school for absolutely no reason...dumb, dumb, dumb.
- Avoiding the birds-and-the-bees conversation with your daughter because she says "gross" might be something you worry about later when she says her friends make fun of her for knowing nothing about "that."
- Leaving your twelve-year-old at home all summer and letting her learn computer/HTML skills by surfing the internet and "designing Xanga pages" is a disaster waiting to happen.
- Teaching your daughters to cook by letting them learn on their own can prove to be tragic when they put metal in the microwave or plastic on the stove.
