Surviving Competitive Sports

I was pretty naive when we made the jump from the neighborhood softball team to playing on a competitive team. My daughter is 12, and has one year of competitive ball under her belt. My husband is the head coach. My problem- I HATE IT!! I feel terrible saying that, because she does love to play and he loves coaching. But they practice 3 times per week, and then play double and triple headers on the weekends, and some tournaments that last all weekend. Luckily, we aren't a travel team, though the tournaments require up to about a 3 hour...

Teens and Funny Movies Rated R

So, we have a 16 y/o son who has his head on pretty straight. We have taught him about wrong from right and inappropriate things and so on.

What to Do with Teenagers over the Summer?

Hi all, I have three stepkids (18, 15, and 9 yo) and a fourth-month old son. (All three stepkids live with us full-time.) I just recently became a SAHM when my son was born. This worked really well when the older three kids were still in school since I had the house to myself most of the day and could focus solely on the baby for the most part. Now that it's summer, though, I'm realizing that I've unwittingly become a SAHM to the three older kids and all their desires to go here, there and everywhere. Although we had the 9 yo in day...
