Upon arriving home from walking the kiddos to school, I went into my bedroom to make my bed. Resting on my pillow was a letter addressed to my husband and myself. Following is the response that I wrote:
Dear Jack,
Thank you very much for the letter your recently wrote to us. We are so happy that you think we are “the best mom and dad ever.” Likewise, we think you are pretty cool yourself.
In regards to your request to extend Xbox privileges to the weeknights, our decision is as follows:
We feel, after careful consideration, that while you are a hard worker and a responsible student, it would be wise to continue to restrict Xbox use to weekends and holidays.
We are so glad to have you as a member of our family, and we hope that you won’t hesitate to come to us with any future requests, concerns, or complaints.
Keep up the good work!
Love,
Mom and Dad
P.S. Your handwriting is getting so good! You are the best blonde nine-year-old in the whole wide world.
