Well the prime set of kids I've watched grow up over the last 12 years was day-cared by their grandmother who runs a day care and it seems to be a pretty nice one. She's very organized and, I think, very good albeit a bit on the authoritarian side. I'd have to say she has a good day care from the looks of it. That having been said, the kids are extremely annoying. The oldest boy is starting his change of life and that's, shockingly, mellowed him out some and now you can actually speak with him here and there. He once threw water on my car for no apparent reason and, while it was only water, it displayed what I consider to be a lack of respect. I just haven't seen that kind of behavior with kids with stay-at-home parents. I should add that 100% of kids I've met in France are well behaved. The average school kid there is about 80% better behaved than the average kids here. There are the street urchins of course, but they're the same all over. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Macromedia ColdFusion MX7 Upgrade to MX7 & experience time-saving features, more productivity. http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion?sdid=RVJW Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:231471 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
