It’s gone viral! People around the world have seen my simple video that portrays an embarrassing mom—me—dancing on the highway, in a blizzard! Because of a 20-car pile-up on Colorado’s I-25 outside of Denver, my two teenagers and I were stuck on t More

My 7 year old son has been having extreme behavioral issues at school ever since August. It has been a constant on going battle with him either disrespecting the teachers, running through the hallways, putting his hands on other students, and tantrums in the classroom. I...

I posted recently about having troubles with my 15 year old daughter. I can't communicate with her and vice versa. I feel afraid and upset that we are not communicating. I feel so useless and a failure that I have this issue with my own daughter. I literally have no ide...
I took the advice from my last post I understand I have been jealous and insecure and it truly is hard. I asked in advance if I can have them this weekend and my ex said ok, but my eldest daughter still had gymnastics on Saturday, but I asked that if she preferred to spe...
My 12 year old son sometimes hides things of ours when he is in trouble with us. He has been doing this offand on for years. Worry that this will escalate to bigger things.
We want to take a cruise next year and I want my 12 year old son to bring a friend. He is an only child and thought he might not want to do the individual kids activities by himself. However, he doesn't seem that interested in bringing a friend. What about friends that a...
On the subject of biting, which is a normal toddler behavior, there were several questions posed from several frustrated mamas over the years. So I decided to give my own advice on the subject, having dealt with it for quite a long time!… More

Hello Friends, Do you give Christmas gifts for service workers? Specifically for your mailman? I don’t know ours personally but he’s been delivering on my route for a couple years and seems to work 6 days a week this holiday season. I just thought it would be a nice ...
I had some great people post helpful comments to one of my questions, but I don’t know how to show them that I appreciate what they wrote. Is that what the little flower icon is for on this site?
I just picked up my daughter who is in 5th grade from a party. I saw tears in her eyes on our way home and she told me all the other girls (6) were invited to sleep over. I was wondering why none of the other parents were coming to pick-up when I was there. I was confus...

As some of you have older kids, I'm hoping someone has a polite way to not let a child play with another child. We are going camping with a large group of people, and there is one girl that my 5 year old use to play with. We no longer have a connection to the family ...
