You might be a pretentious parent if…
You might be a pretentious parent if… you buy your child this lovely artwork.
Step 1. Pay $85 for the small 12″x12″, or $135 for the big 12″x18″ canvas artwork.
Step 2. Have the masterpiece customized with your child’s name at no extra charge.
Step 3. Send Junior to his time-out introspection zone.
Yes, it’s the Time Out Dots Canvas Wall Art. You are a parent that cares enough to surround your kid with the very best when he’s at his very worst.
When you have your second trophy child, establish a second time-out area with a second canvas wall hanging. Better yet, convert two of your guest rooms to time-out contemplation retreats.
And as the years pass and time-outs fade away in favor of revoking the keys to BMWs, donate your personalized penalty posters to a thrift shop so that some other young Portia and Winston might know the solace of art in trying times.
Me? I send my daughter to her room and tell her to stay there until she’s ready to not scream talk.

My one year old is starting to throw “on-the-floor” fits. But, I don’t think this is for us. We’ll wait it out patiently. “I know you’re frustrated because ….” Conversation with my child will do more than this artwork.
Not that I don’t WISH I had something easier…..

AJ’s acerbic wit made my day, but I have to admit I was mesmerized by the dots and want one with my name on it. Maybe I should get make a time-out corner for myself?

I think I would get a time out from my hubby for spending that much money on such an absurd piece of (I guess it’s supposed to be art-work with a purpose?) junk.
