For a long time I kept revisiting the births and especially Fiona on my chest and the fear that she could … [Read more...]
Tonight, I Lost It.
I totally lost it on The Boy tonight. I wrote a few weeks ago about disciplining your toddler. I got great ideas and since then I've been the mom who does the warning, a redirect, removal...whatever the situation calls for. I make him look me in the eye (which he DETESTS when he's … [Read more...]
Do useless husbands make useless fathers?
Shawn's Note: In this post, I have used the words "husband" and "wife" to simplify gender identification. You can easily insert the word "partner" to suit your particular tastes.There are many differences between being a husband and being a father. But, is a man's behaviour as … [Read more...]

Say The Magic Word…
Will woke me up at 1am this morning. He was wailing away in his room. I'm fairly hard-assed when it comes to his sleeping. If he's not sick aka no potential blow outs or upchucks, I won't go in if he wakes. Generally, within 5-10 minutes he's settled himself back down and … [Read more...]
