I know a couple of mom’s who have younger children ranging from 5 to 8 years of age. To be perfectly honest, they’re the kind of kids that help flush the parents social life right down the toilet! No one wants the kids around so they never ask the parents to do anything.
Family members cringe […]
What are some of the values that you hope to raise your kids with? Is the importance of being wealthy one of them? This article is one of the first I’ve ever read on the topic of raising kids to value wealth. Frankly, it sickens me. I’m all for teaching the value of a dollar and will admit […]
As a mother of a large brood, I’ve had lots of experience in dealing with people who obviously have no idea of what it means to mind their own business. Here are some common questions/comments posed by strangers and my favorite replies:
“Why did you have so many kids?” - Why is that any of your business?

This topic is nothing new. As long as there has been parenting discussions, the topic of spanking has been one of the biggest controversies. To spank or not to spank? That was the original question. Most conservative religious groups were proponents of spanking as a form of discipline. As the times change, so does the […]
The McKeevers seem to have it all: a big house, nice cars, good looks and two gorgeous sons who’ll grow up to be real heartbreakers. But for now they’re content to be bonebreakers, trash talking, smashing the home and acting up at school. She and Dad are desperate for a Supernanny intervention. Can Jo help […]

But I do remember quite a bit about that decade and got to witness the fabulous fads, glorious music and awesome sitcoms that graced the fondly […]
There’s a fun little site dedicated to those who grew up in the 80’s. With a multitude of trips down memory lane, you’ll want to set aside some time when you can actually spend an hour or 10 just playing around with the many pages they’ve put together.
While you’re taking the stoll down […]
My husband’s extended family is 60 members strong. The family consists of his two parents, twelve siblings, 11 in laws, 31 grand kids and 3 babies “in utero.” We congregate more than the average family, for holidays birthdays, baptisms and any other excuse we can think of to deem a get together necessary. The family consists of many […]
WHAT?
That’s exactly what I thought when I first read this article!
While I can certainly see some conflict and proper handling of the situation being beneficial to families, I think there are people who will misunderstand the study and will go around cussing, slamming doors, throwing all out tantrums.
I don’t know about you, but if […]
Things have been going very nicely during our campaign to curb the spanking. Yes, there are occasions when a spanking is necessary, in my opinion. On the whole, however, spanking is not an effective form of discipline when used on a daily basis. At least, not in our home. So we have resorted to using […]
