Birthdays

I like this Slate article on kid's birthday parties. For one it shows the challenges in enforcing whatever rules you have come up with for your kids. I also like that she is trying to deal with the endless tide of presents at gift giving time. Of course I approve of the fact that her solution is book based. You also see the slow tide of social influence that begins to erode parental authority. I dread this.
