I’m sure that this post is going to strike up some differing opinions and maybe a little heat, but it needs to be discussed. I lie to my kids. I have lied to people I love, when the situation absolutely called for it. Yet, I teach my children that lying is wrong. I am aware that […]
I have a wonderful, beautiful amazing 7-year-old niece that my brother and our family first met last year. We get to have her visit a week or two in the summer. My brother goes out of his way, driving 5 hours one way to get to an airport to meet her so she doesn’t […]
I read an interesting article recently that discussed a particular case where the parents of two children hid their family problems from the kids for years. When they eventually announced they were getting divorced, the kids were shocked and wound up being deeply scarred. After years of therapy, one of the children wrote about […]
It is becoming an increasing trend for moms to go under the knife, these days. Many women become unsatisfied with their bodies or just parts them, after giving birth. The answer lies in a healthy diet, exercise and sometimes…plastic surgery. There are some things that just cannot be corrected with all the exercise in the world.

That really speaks volumes about their […]
We heard about Jamie Lynn Spears and gasped in shock, as we bid adieu to “Zoey 101.” We saw the headlines for the new NBC reality show “Baby Borrowers” and wondered who the heck would allow a snot nosed teenager to borrow their baby. We caught wind of some odd teen pregnancy pact and rolled our eyes […]
Under any other circumstance, I would admit that as a parent I do suck, but following a lengthy conversation with my kids recently, I am teetering on whether I suck or if it’s other parents that do.
For eight long years, I raised my twins alone. Their father wasn’t in the picture. The kids didn’t […]
Are you still sitting in your chair? I completely understand if you had to stop and pick yourself up from the floor - I certainly did.
“Manners are societal expectations…they are optional.”
So shocking I had to say it twice and even then, it leaves this echoing residue of sorts. Doesn’t it?
That very statement […]
I’ve decided to invite our readers to watch THIS news clip of a family of four who was kicked off a Southwest Airlines flight in Seattle and join in a friendly and informative discussion.
Please consider leaving your own observations of whether or not this family was:
Kicked off the flight with just cause
They were being […]
