I...I think letting kids win is not a good practice. I hate this whole kids need to have a fair shot. Yeah, when I was a kid I hated the fact of being picked last because I sucked at certain sports and the team I was on always lost, but it was good for me to realize I wasn't good at everything. Kids these days think that things are just handed to them.

So basically, you are doing the right thing.

It implied that they thought I wasn't capable of winning on my own. I think I'd get more upset at that than actually losing.<br /><br />On a related note, one time I caught my dad cheating while we played Old Maid... he could see my cards in a reflection in the window.

In many ways, kids today are way too pampered and privileged. <br />And on another note, I love the sarcastic tongue in cheek email.

Hubby and I have different views on this. He chooses to ignore the fact that Zach is playing with him and just go on about his game. I play the game my way, but also stop to give Zach tips when he gets stuck. There is a lot less screaming and 4-yr-old frustration when he plays with me, so I'm voting that asDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03990643174190148602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624110.post-33236079417306971372010-01-21T12:23:38.897-06:002010-01-21T12:23:38.897-06:00Monkey,
