It’s official - As a Mom, I suck

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 […]

Let the talks begin… with proven responsibility comes appropriate freedoms

This evening we had, yet another one of those sit down talks that I knew was coming, but dreaded so.
At fifteen, I believe hanging out with friends away from home one night a week and having company visit one night a week is plenty.  I believe a strict curfew of 10:00 PM is plenty late […]

But things are so different now…

Times, they are a changin’ and I’m not exactly sure I like it very much!
Things seemed so much simpler when I was a teenager.  Perhaps it’s because my parents had their ‘rules’ very well defined and there wasn’t room to question.  Well, there might have been room, but when it came to my dad, […]

How many times have you, as a parent heard yourself saying those exact words?  Those words you heard your own parents say and that you Swore you’d never use?
Now, how many times do you actually repeat yourself […]

What Real Mom’s Do on a Snow Day

I could sit here and pour out a whole bunch of fluff about how my children and I had so many fun, educational, learning experiences on their recent snow day, but that would all be a big fat lie!
What we actually did was pull out some movies we’d been buying up and stockpiling just for […]

Are we a nation too obsessed with safety?

Everywhere I go there are signs stating the coffee is hot - the floors are wet, watch your step, not responsible for injury, no lifeguard on duty - and that’s just the large signs in public places.

Hair today, gone tomorrow

Last night I had the painful experience of taking four teens to get their hair cut and some highlights.
Normally that doesn’t seem all that major, but when you have a girl that wants her hair short like a boys and have boys who want their hair long like girls, there’s a problem.
Not saying it’s all […]

Saying No and Feeling Guilt

Over the last couple of days, we’ve had a big discussion going on. More like mom saying “No” and a kid throwing a tantrum with a little “why not?” tossed in.
Here’s the deal…
A few months back the boys all decided they were going to wrestle as their chosen sport this fall/winter season. Fine! […]
