You would think, as kids get older - say fourteen and fifteen-years-old that they would ease up on the “that’s mine don’t touch” argument, right? Well they don’t!
Maybe I’m wrong when it comes to the sharing policy I enforce, but this being the first time I’ve ever been a parent to teens, I’m still learning.
Recent […]
The very day I signed the papers for withdrawing my kids from our local school, I found out about teen fight clubs that are going on.
Apparently these teen boys ‘claim’ to be ‘playing’ UFC and get together in various locations to fight and they’re recording it on their phones and sharing the videos with other […]
Today marked the last day my kids (all three of them) will endure the hardships of the school I’ve had so many issues with.
More details to come for sure - but for now, I have enrolled the kids in Keystone High School and Keystone Middle School online courses.
My husband was a hard sell but eventually […]
The VMA’s and their lame-assed host stirred quite a controversy when he mocked the “Silver Ring Thing” - promise ring or virginity pledge, whatever you choose to call it.
The Jonas Brothers are known for wearing purity rings. The host of the VMA’s made a rude comment that obviously offended another purity ring wearer, Jordin Sparks. […]
There are three teenage boys living in my household. Each one of the three has very different taste and style. One is a little skateboarder type dude thinking he’s all hot and cool at the same time with his long lochs of highlighted hair. The second has sort of a Classic Rock kinda style with […]
While rushing around to get things ready for our Labor Day camping trip, my husband and I received a phone call from the school. One of the boys was in the office and needed a parent to come to the school.
I was in the process of packing up food and clothes, so my husband […]
My son recently broke up with a girl that’s been friends with and known my other son since early elementary school. For nearly a year now, my family has taken a keen liking to this girl. She’s fun, she’s endearing and well, frankly, living on the banks of Lake Testosterone, I kind of enjoyed having […]
A fight between two Indiana boys landed the mother of one of the boys in jail last week after she encouraged the fight and refused to break it up.
For those wondering, NO it wasn’t me!
Although I have to admit, I would like to beat the mother for being quoted as saying: “The police didn’t bother […]
Last night, two of my kids wanted to attend the varsity football game. I didn’t have a problem with it really. After all they would be just up the road, inside a fenced in field with plenty of school officials around, right?
My only rule when dropping them off to attend the game was to STAY […]
I’ve been told I’m not the most sympathetic parent (or spouse for that matter) on the block when it comes to listening to my kids say they are sick. I’ve heard every excuse under the sun when it comes to one of them trying to get out of doing something they’ve been told to do […]
