I have No Patience to Teach Them… Patience
There are things I expected to have to teach my kids. How and what to eat, how to drink from a sippy cup, how to brush their teeth and so on. I researched them, ignored everything I read and did what I wanted. I even feel like I am teaching them their manners pretty well. [...]

‘Bathroom’ Issues in a Potty Trained 3 Year Old
Sarah is a jewel. A unique, special, gem of a child. She is sweet, loving, a little too smart for her own good, and just downright a blessing to have as a daughter. She also makes a stubborn mule look like a docile, submissive kitty cat. The child will hold out on anything at all [...]
