When Was The Last Time You Ate Together?
I am willing to go on record saying that as my kids get older, all of their activities and friends tend to take away from the “family” aspect of our family. That is not to say that we aren’t always there for each other under all circumstances, but it just seems more difficult to be the family that is defined in the dictionary. Yesterday, we actually sat down at the kitchen table and had a fantastic meal (yes, I cooked it myself and did not order in) and it was…
What Do Your Kids Call The New Step Mom Or Dad?
Recently, a Facebook friend asked a question that evolved into a heated debate and I wanted to ask you what you thought. Every child has a mom and a dad–that is the way it is. Some parents are more involved and others are less involved in the upbringing of their children. We have already discussed that. But what happens when one (or both) parents re-marry or become seriously involved with a person who is not the child’s biological parent? What do you call that person? Does it make a difference…
Grrr. Teenage Girls!
To coin a popular teenage phrase, WTF? Can someone please try and explain what the triggers are that will turn a teenage girl from a funny, engaging, friend, into an evil creature that could not have been born–but spawned? This past weekend, was a perfectly good example. The local school district sponsored a Career Fair to get kids thinking about what type of career track they might want to pursue. We decided to check it out. We woke up on time, went out and had a yummy breakfast together. We…
Charlie Sheen: Single Dad
Wow, I am conflicted this morning. Charlie Sheen does indeed have his problems–booze, drugs, hookers, and off the wall antics and behavior. He has had his issues with his ex wives, Denise Richards with whom he had two girls; and is now separated from his current wife, Brooke Mueller–mother of their 2-year old twin boys. This may not be the most popular post I have ever written, but I have never heard any evidence that Charlie Sheen put any of his children in harm’s way. There are allegations of abuse…
I Get No Respect
Not as bad as it might seem.We were out and I was being a real pain in the neck trying to video her. And if that’s the worse thing a 16 yr old throws my way, I am ahead of the game!…
