Trying It On For Size

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.

Throwing The Book

When a child commits a misdemeanor in your home, do you resort to using the same punishment every time, or do you tailor it to fit the crime? Do you skip the “punishment” in favor of a lecture lesson?
My son made the mistake of writing on the wall, yesterday. It was pretty obvious who […]

Even “Tough” Moms Deserve Love

As authors of Guerrilla Parenting (and mommies too,) Gayla and I have been labeled as many things. We have been called tough, unfair, judgmental, harsh, just to name a few.

Britney has been spotted working her rear off at Bally’s Fitness and there is even talk of her striking an endorsement deal with them. While I agree that […]

Love Is…Enforcing The Code

 
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 […]

Forget The Chastity Belt!

What it the craziest thing that you have ever done to protect your children? How about when it comes to dating? What lengths would you go to in order to  keep your precious daughter safe from the grubby grippers of her one track minded boyfriend? My husband and I have discussed this topic many times, […]

Safety Before Convenience

Nothing pisses me off more than witnessing a parent putting their child(ren) in danger, when on the go. My usual tendency to mind my own business goes right out the window, when I see a child’s safety being compromised, and I lose the ability to keep my mouth shut. I have done so on many different occasions and will […]
