I am so tired of finding flies on my sandwich if I leave it unattended for more than five seconds. I’m sick of the flies that have taken on characteristics of buzzards, as they loom over my head, waiting for me to take my eyes of of the food so they can swoop down and […]
In response to the recent comment wars between special needs parents and those of us who are being called idiots, I’d like to pose topic that will hopefully get some of us on our way to learning and recognizing the needs of special needs.
So often we hear “treat them normal” by allowing them to do […]
I know that in today’s world, most teens believe they are worth $20 per hour or they aren’t working. In their minds, they’d like to work a full day and go buy an iPod - but in reality - that’s just not going to happen. At least that’s what I told my son. BUT, […]
I took the advice of a reader, cannot remember who it was now, that suggested having kids who curse, clean a toilet. Guess what? It works! The child who was having the biggest problem of curbing his cursing, has quickly learned how much fun scrubbing a toilet is not. I think that he figured I would […]
Obviously this is a topic that has a strong pull on me at the moment. I can clearly see both sides and think this particular incident should be a valuable learning experience - for any parent with a small child, disability or not.

People, people, people… seriously - there is no need to put a hit out on me for my previous post discussing the mother of the autistic child who was kicked off a flight. Granted, the title was in poor taste - I’ll admit that. At the time, my blogging mind kicked in and yes, it’s […]
My son has been different from my other children, all his life. Even as a baby, I would notice that he was difficult to calm, impulsive, hyperactive and very angry. I discussed these matters with the pediatrician, very early in his toddler years. He assured me that it was probably just normal boy characteristics. Being […]
I know I’m not the only one who loves to hear old fashioned parenting techniques. Whether they worked or not - whether they seem exceptionally cruel, humiliating or even on the flip side - very effective - you have to admit there have been some really creative parenting techniques used throughout time.
In fact, Eliza from […]
It seems my cure for a biting toddler has been resurrected and isn’t sitting so well with some of our readers. So let me just state for the record that my twins are now 15 and my methods of punishment worked very well for them. These are boys who answer me honestly even when […]
If’ I pay $400 plus dollars to fly on an airplane, I certainly don’t want my flight to be filled with constant chaos and a kid screaming and throwing a tantrum as was the case of the Autistic toddler that got kicked off an airplane in Raleigh Durham recently.
I guess you could say my kids […]
