Everything You Need To Know About Parenting You Can Learn From Roseanne:
I (Heather) always wondered whether we would end up parenting like the Cosby's or the Connor's. I think we have found ourselves at a happy compromise between the two.
The other day I caught a rerun of Roseanne. Darlene and Becky were trying to calm a baby that they were babysitting. Dan enters and determines right away that the baby is fussing because he is teething and in pain and asks for a frozen waffle. He gives it to the baby and says that the cold waffle helps the gums feel better and all the grooves catch the drool. Since Quinn doesn't like any of the typical recommended teething comforts, I kept that in the back of my mind for the next time Quinn started teething.
In the last week, a new tooth emerged and two more are about to break through. She has been miserable. So, we tried the waffle trick. She liked them so much she said "mmmm" and "more." Several mini-waffles later she was back to her happy playful self again.
