Oh, the action around here!

Spanking sends the wrong message. I believe your intention is to get his attention and you can do that so much more effectively without hitting. Use strong ,assertive body language along with attention getting vocals (not just screaming). MAKE YOU...
Hi Maria,
I agree with you. I think more than anything I was in between worlds of teen and adult with Sarah and I was in unchartered territory. On one hand I trusted her and believed in her judgement and on the other hand I was awake at 3:00am wor...
But in a sense, she is an adult and she feels that you are strong arming her. i think she should at least have the respect to tell you she wont be home that night or if she is going to be late, than no later than 1am. but she should tell you out o...
Hi Stacy and all my mom friends,
I had a great talk the other night with my daughter Sarah. I spent the day formulating a list of rules that she needed to follow while living back home and our discussion was outlined with the list of rules. We ad...
Hi Jacki,
How did it go?
Thanks Joanna and Angela. I know that you are right and hearing your advice makes me feel stronger and more resolute.
We have a meeting set with Sarah tonight at 7:00 to lay down the new rules. Im already feeling better.
Speaking of tough love - before 19, she should have been paying for that stuff - especially once she went to college. Since this didn't happen, she now has a sense of entitlement. That means as long as you let her run all over you, she will contin...
It's time for some tough love,as long as she is staying at your house whether it's 2 days or 2 months it's your rules. If she is working a lot and has the money to go out she has the money to pay her bills, if she continues to choose not to pay he...
Okay, Now I need your help my friends. My 19 year old daughter is home from her freshmen year of College and I am trying to figure out the new adult/ parent relationship. Sarah is not a party girl but she does have a boyfriend that she sees quite ...
your a good mom Keira. Kaylas relationship with her dad will be the foundation for all of her relationships . You need to tell her dad this:
"You are so important to Kayla". "How you feel about her effects her in a big way" "Knowing that, how do y...
you will get nowhere, if you fight it. Talk honestly with her and ask her if she has sexual desires for girls. Tell her if she does, that you will try to understand and support her. If it is a phase then it will pass a lot faster if you support he...
Hi Mandy,
Its very unsettling for kids to not know their boundaries. Boundaries and disciplipe( to teach) is as important as food and water. Being CONFIDENT and consistent will actually make your kids know that everything is normal and okay. Weird...
It will definitely get better. PICK YOUR BATTLES , although demand respect, be consistent and unbending WITHOUT yelling. Dont let her see you sweat. Dont let her attitude change you. Tell her she is smart and beautiful. Take care of YOU .....good ...

One Flaw In Women
Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they
think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what
makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their
family and friends.
Women have vital things to say
and everything to give.
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.
Please pass this along to all your
women friends and relatives to remind them just
how amazing they are.
