Who knew that when you have your first baby at 27 or 28, there’s a good chance you’ll be moving into The Change at precisely the same moment your oldest is in the throes of puberty?
Yeah. Do the math. Have a daughter at 28 and you’ll be 41 when she’s 13. And since she’s 14 months younger than her brother, and boys generally enter puberty a little later than girls, well, let’s just say that at this point, the only two people in our house who aren’t having hormonal surges are my husband and the 7 year old.

I mean, I loathe it with a passion. I think all the night is good for is crushing the dreams of young girls and virginity loss. Yeah, that’s how much I hate it.

read more...This last weekend provided yet another stellar example of my parenting skills.
Our oldest is 13, and this school year has been a challenge. Between his sometimes-surly attitude and sudden dearth of communication regarding his classes at school, my husband and I feel like we’re raising a brick wall.

I’m the mom who pulls up late to practice, slows down to an idle long enough to let one kid out of the car and yells “I’ll pick you up after practice” as I squeal out of the parking lot.
read more...I always thought I was a fairly cool mom, one you wouldn’t be embarrassed to take with you to the mall or Back to School Night.
I’m no prude. I don’t wear “mom” jeans. I’ve allowed my older kids to have birthday sleepovers every year since they were 7.
read more...You know, I’m not a violent person.
I preach pacifism and strive to keep my kids from using their fists to solve disagreements. I don’t like to kill anything, even spiders, which I hate. And I’m totally against football and WWF.
read more...Over the last year or so, there’s been lots in the news about boot camps for troubled kids.
Last week, the U.S. House again held hearings on the issue, and a bill there would amp up camp regulations, which right now vary from state to state.

I’ve worried for years because I didn’t breastfeed my first child. Then I wonder if I read enough to my second when she was younger. And then there’s my salty language. Sometimes I drop F-bombs.
read more...Would you lie to your kids?
That question came up in our house the day after Christmas. I was in bed, trying to catch a few extra minutes of shut-eye, when a tornado burst out of Maggie’s room and landed on my bed. She lay there with her arms folded and declared, “I don’t think it’s right for parents to lie to their kids.”
