Teachers Are Entitled To Voice Their Opinions Too
No sooner do I get done applauding a parent for creatively addressing her son's failing grades and general lack of concern for getting an education; I read about a teacher who called out students on her personal blog and was suspended for it. The reasoning against doing both of those things is the sake of a child's self-esteem according to the [...]
We Don’t Teach Kids Violence
I wrote an article not long past that spanking doesn't create violence and showed that the results are pretty much consistent with that conclusion. People disagree and that is their right to disagree. They present arguments that spanking does create violence and the reason we are seeing an increase in violence has nothing to do with not [...]
Can I Put My Child On A Vegetarian Diet?
Due to concerns over where food is coming from, what is going into foods and childhood obesity, many parents are opting for vegetarian diets for their children. Gone are the days when pediatricians objected this type of diet and provided little assistance to parents wishing to use a vegetarian diet. Now pediatricians have become more educated [...]
Halloween Safety For Kids And Teens
Kids of all ages love Halloween. Free candy, I mean come on what kid doesn't like free candy. I asked my oldest why he was going trick or treating and he said, "oh my god! free candy! are you insane woman, why would you even ask that?". The vision of all that free candy makes kids want to go to house to house as quick as possible and safety [...]
Spanking Doesn’t Teach Violence – The Proof Is In
The proof is in the pudding. Look at the youth of today and then come back and tell me the kids are less violent today than there were 20 years ago. You can't do it. Kids are more violent today. Kids are now labeled oppositional and defiant instead of just calling them violent. It isn't the kids fault they have a disorder, boo hoo, cry [...]
What To Do When Chores Are Not Getting Done
Chores don’t have to always be a war. However, the most efficient, well thought out family plan will have some challenges in the beginning. Children will never choose chores over playing the X-box or checking out their Faceback page but you can get them to do them without a fight. You have to make the commitment though and stick with [...]
Why I Am Not Friends With My Kids
I was going to write about make-up and the real difference it makes both inside and out. I was even going to include pictures of me. Anyone that has been here before or on Facebook knows I don't do that but I was going to do it to illustrate my point. Sometimes a picture is worth a 1000 words, which means I get to write 1000 less and I have [...]
Welcome To My Madness
Website Mayhem I am a pretty technically skilled person. I am good at learning new things on my own. I comprehend quite well. However, this WordPress loop, PHP, HTML, CSS combination is driving me mad. Not just a little crazy but freaking mad! I spent the day yesterday working on redesigning the home page for the website. I have the [...]
Pyramid
My youngest isn't just talking about aliens being everywhere; he is now building pyramids. Should I be worried they got his brain - hehe.
Aliens Are Everywhere – According to my son
Last week I was a bad mommy. I had a deposition early in the morning and late the night before I had to reset the home router. In my home router, I had settings that blocked YouTube from my 7 year old's computer. The older kids could still get on but for him it was a no go. I told my youngest child that YouTube was just broken on his [...]
