Several months ago, the book Mommy Wars: Stay-at-Home and Career Moms Face Off on Their Choices, Their Lives, Their Families by Leslie Morgan Steiner, was roundly discussed in the media.
In a series of essays, she attempts to resolve the conflicts and “fighting” between mothers who stay at home to raise children, and, mothers who raise […]
My friend, Slartibartfast at Shoot The Moose, describes what may be a very common scenario in many households with kids and working parents, and, one I know all too well:

Every now and then, on my walk to the parking garage, I notice other people on […]
What do you do for a living? Do your kids know what that means?
When I was growing up, I knew a lot about my dad’s job because he was very proud of his organization. My daughter is 12, and, just this week, two of her friends indicated that they had absolutely no idea where their […]
Oh, the morning routine. Those of you with school aged children, in particular, know exactly what I mean.
How to get everyone out the door when you you need to, with the things they need, and, preferably without the neighbors calling Child Protective Services. OK, I jest about that part. Mostly.
