Hello! My name is Sabrina Mars and I'm the writer of Dear Sabby. I'm looking to add moms just like you in hopes of finding more people seeking the kind of advice Dear Sabby has to offer. I hope you will accept my friend request and check out www.DearSabby.com or follow along with me on Twitter.
Hi Kannah! I just received your book to review from Hachette. I thought I recognized your name from TwitterMoms! Looking forward to reading the book and following your advice!
I completed to survey to be on your show. I want to stress that many families have to deal with one or both parents and a disability. It doesn't matter if the disability is "invisible" or not....it is a challenge. I say invisible because I am 31 years old and have MS. Until I tell you, it is invisible. I look fine. There are many other illnesses that strike families in the same way, Crones, Lupus, fibromyalgia to name a few.
Hi Hannah. I saw the casting call rquest for moms today. I was wondering if you wanted to include a segment on how to make their homes safer, nontoxic, and kinder to the earth for their kids or how to be able to have more green by making their houses energy efficient. I read you will be instituting a boot camp to help out moms, but sometimes kids' behaviors are due to the chemicals in their homes or what the kids are eatting. I have 4 boys with 2 that have ADD. It is a challenge.
I would be happy to work with you on this theme. Check out my website or profile to see more information about me.
Help, Hannah! I'm a single mom of four kids, ranging in age from 15 to 7, and enrolled in elementary, middle and high school. I'm an editor for a parenting magazine, online weekly newsletter and a special sections department for a community newspaper. I'm also marketing director for the magazine, the community paper and a product called TheBAG -- a weekly bag full of circulars delivered to homeowners all across Columbus. Trying to juggle these roles, plus be a good friend, girlfriend, daughter and sister is overwhelming. Not to mention keeping up with my blog!
Holy Hannah ! Ok, I"m sure that joke is old by now, but if there is a desperate mom out there? I am that woman. Right now.....my biggest issue is I have a "3.95 year old son that is not potty trained" who has no disabilities except that one well known as STUBBORN AS A MULE!
My other child is in kindergarten and earned himself a seat in theat the back of the room in the first week of school, all alone, facing the wall because Mr. Socialite is bound to be my political activist for sure. His teacher has given him opportunities to move up to the regular tables with the other kids but he stays about 2 hours and then he is in trouble for talking again and is banished to the back. He doesn't seem to mind. His teacher even says "he doesn't mind being back there at all, he just turns around and yells across the room! UGH
In the meantime we just sold a daycare which was about as stressful as living in a fox hole and now I'm attempting to make extra money on the side by monetizing my blogs and taking on some local writing assignments. I've been featured in my local paper and write there sometimes, ok, rarely, but it is something.
Yes, definitely I qualify as desperate and would love to be considered for your show on PBS. I would like to think that by Spring my "3.95 year old that is not potty trained" will finally be potty trained but that's what I thought last year when I told him "no 3rd birthday party until you learn to potty", and in the spring when I said, "see these awesome Superman underwear on the top of the fridge, you can have them when you learn to potty" and 2 weeks ago when I said, "see these M & M's? everytime you use the potty I'll put one in this bowl and you can have every thing in the bowl after dinner"....nothing, nada...even my mom bought him a potty a couple of months ago and NOTHING, NADA. He knows, he goes to hide to poop FINALLY (just in last 2 weeks maybe) and if we don't smell it, he won't tell us. He has had rashes on his bottom from being burned by poop but he will NOT tell anyone nor will he potty.
Everyone that I hired at my daycare would say, "oh I can do it, I had x amount of children, I can potty train him", after about 2 months they would say, "have you considered taking him to the doctor". Doctor's suggest that I let him go Pee ouside and I have to explain that you can't get him to take his pants off, never mind his pull-up. So, the doctor suggested that I just not put a pull-up on him in the mornings, lovely idea but I just got new living room furniture and er...no, plus, we have to leave the house to take his brother to school, he can't do that naked now can he?
Ok, see, I am at my wits end and because he is hard headed and stubborn. If he is in the mood to pick a fight, he will find a way to do something to do just that. For instance, both of my kids have been "excuse me and please" kids since they could babble. But, about 2 weeks ago, he burped in my face. His father and I said, "what are you suppose to say?" because he didn't immediately say anything.
He sat in his room for 45 minutes because he refused to say it. We would call him back into the family room and ask him if he was ready to come out of his room by saying excuse me, he would just burst into a screech and cry and run back to his room. He held it up for 45 minutes.
In perspective, he comes by the stubbornness naturally. In my mom's second marriage, which consequently was also the same man she married for the third and fourth times, she and this man got into an argument. They lived in the same house, she cooked meals just like everything was normal, we ate at the same table, they slept in the same bed and she did NOT speak one word to him for SIX WEEKS. That is not a typo...six weeks without saying one single word to him. Now, you see, my "3.95 year old who is not potty trained" gets those bullhorns as natural as ever.
But, oh yea the point of this post, I'm desperate!
welcome! You are an inspiration with 7 kids and host of a show! And I thought my life was chaos with 3 boys under 4 and running a marketing agency! I'm stoked to see how you do it all and maybe learn a few things!!

I have 3 kids, work a full time job and blog as well but I'm not sure if this qualifies me?
