Power Struggle
Every now and then we feel can feel as if we’re out of place in the world. Everywhere that we thought we fit into we suddenly feel as if we’re unwanted. We know somewhere deep in our hearts that that isn’t the case, but we can’t help but feel it. We’re lonely and want nothing more but to fit in and be the “popular” person of the group. Normally being popular isn’t a priority or a worry, but once in a blue moon, it becomes the most important thing in the world to us. We do everything to become the person everyone wants to be with and talk to when in reality we don’t need to try that hard. So how do we handle the time when we suddenly feel the need to be the “alpha” figure in the group? Continue reading →

What the @#$%!
You never really know what’s going to come out of a child’s mouth. It could be something silly, it could be something gross or it could be the dreaded swear word that you didn’t know your child even knew. What do you do when your child(ren) curses? Do you quickly cover their mouth, tell them not to say that, wash their mouth out with soap, or maybe you just ignore it. I was hopping around different blog communities lately and one of the topics of conversation was swearing on blogs. It kind of surprised me that people are so averse to it and will actually click away if they see even the smallest bit of swearing. This all got me thinking about children swearing and if it was acceptable, whether or not parents should punish their children for swearing, and if parents swear around their children.
