Hah! Good word!
I used to get that word a LOT as a kid. "I'm not going to mollycoddle you, learn to do it yourself!" (I was an oldest child--by the time all the others came along, they did everything for them! LOL!)
Oh, yeah, that's one I'm familiar with. Darlene used the word with more propriety (there's a word for ya) than my parents did.______

How much we enjoy what we have is more important than how much we have. Life is full of people who have more than they know what to do with, but cannot be content. It is the capacity to enjoy life that brings contentment.---Unknown
