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 […]
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, […]
Given all the recent chatter about the teen pregnancy pact and the lack of discussion about the fathers in this whole mess - I’d like to speak up as a mom to teen boys for just a bit.
Parents of girls need to realize they are raising girls who have complete control over their bodies and […]
When you have a group of girls who vow to a pregnancy pact so they can all raise their babies together blah, blah, blah - just how the heck are parents of boys supposed to protect their son from falling into such a trap?

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about our children and the fact we could not afford to send two kids on the class field trip to Washington D.C. and how the kids, like ours, who remained behind were made to feel as though they were being punished in some way by staying confined […]
It’s been said that much of what seems to be an increase in crimes is just technology making news more accessible.
I don’t buy it!
I can’t believe the number of YouTube videos of teens beating teens that have emerged over the last year or so.
What could possibly go through these kids minds?
I believe kids are […]
A Purity Ball also known as a “Father Daughter Purity Ball” is a formal event attended by fathers and their daughters where virginity until marriage for teenaged girls is promoted. These balls are are often closely associated with U.S. Christian churches, particularly evangelical Christian churches.
Purity Balls can vary in many particulars, but most […]
Frankly, I have to say if a parent doesn’t believe in tough penalties or punishment they should keep their child O-U-T of public schools.
A few weeks ago a little twit in my son’s class spit in his teachers coffee cup. The teacher didn’t find out until TWO days later! The kid was suspended for […]
