I may jest, poke fun and otherwise make light of the trials and tribulations of parenthood, but rest assured, I’m always trying to apply the principles I’ve learned in my positive parenting studies in hopes that at least a majority of the time there will be some level of success. This morning was one of [...]

It’s been several weeks, months even, since Sweetness took a regular nap. So many mothers told me I could look forward to afternoon rest while my little bundle of joy took a nap every afternoon until just before she started kindergarten. Oh how I curse those people.

The Internet is a great place to learn all kinds of things, get answers to your most pressing questions, get great ideas, make friends, lose yourself and be entertained. But it can also be a nasty, praying, wicked thing that can take you down like a lioness does a lame wildebeest. Sometimes it isn’t so [...]

So sweetness has been getting out of hand in her demands to be In Control, with a capital I. C. At first little things like letting her choose which jacket she’d like to wear was enough to make her more than happy for hours. We thought we were really on to something with that. “Wow,” [...]
