I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, “Divorce Sucks.” I was in high school when my parents divorced and it rocked my whole world, in a very emotionally damaging way. I remember, all too vividly, the heart wrenching pain that caused me to cry myself to sleep at night. The memories are so […]
I never was a huge advocate of using time out as a means of disciplining the kids. Why? It did not work, in my opinion. I spawned the kind of children who would punch holes in the wall as they stood screaming in the corner. I have the kind of kids who know how to […]
Every person surely remembers the great story by P.D. Eastman, about the bird who hatches and goes in search of his mother. He encounters many inanimate objects in his quest, whom he poses the question, “Are You My Mother?” to. As I read the book to my little ones, this morning, it made me think […]
As some of you know, I have recently taken my son off of his ADHD medication. Many factors contributed to this decision, too many to get into now. However, we are doing other things to combat his ADHD symptoms. We are no longer bandaging the problem, rather, searching for answers as to the cause of […]
What happens when your child comes home from school, holding a Father’s Day gift that he made in class, without a father to give it to? Do you simply tell him that he needs to throw it away, because he doesn’t have a father? Do you get angry at the teacher for being so insensitive […]

My son made the mistake of writing on the wall, yesterday. It was pretty obvious who […]
…to express what I feel, as I read news articles on the quake in China. Surveying the images of helpless people, searching for loved ones and buildings reduced to rubble, leaves me nearly speechless.
I cannot even start to imagine how the parents of the missing and dead children must be feeling. How would it feel […]

There is an urban legend, ’round these parts, of a family whose children relish the nightly ritual that is their bedtime routine. When the clock strikes half past seven, they scamper to the restroom to commence with their nightly oral hygien routine.
After their teeth are squeaky clean, they scramble to pick out an outfit for the […]
Despite my fear of sounding like my grandmother, I have to wonder what is going on with the dress codes at school and home these days? I had to make a run to the local high school this week, and almost choked on my gum when I saw what the kids were parading around in. When […]
