I’d imagine, based on how I was when I was a girl, that dealing with a moody female five year old would involve a lot of conversation, a lot of questions, a lot of humoring and coaxing and consoling. Or at least, because I was a girl, I’d assume that’s what folks would assume I […]
There’s a bit of angst going around the Net lately. Bad things are happening to innocent people. Single moms and dads are wondering if they’ll ever go on a date again.
You have to read one of the latest installments of Admit You’ve Made a Mistake and Move on. Patrick and Tamara have been writing […]
I had so much to write about today… all these wonderful new women popping in to add their names to the random drawing for a fun, sexy dance instruction DVD… tag’s been banned in schools but with sensitivity training and reeducation on the playground, kids might be allowed to run amok again…
but what has struck […]
There was a note in the King of Everything’s bookbag this evening when I picked him up from school: he had some serious homework.
Seems he’d spit on three kids in his class today… unheard of behavior from the KoE. He has three notes of apology to pen tomorrow, instead of going to the Zoo. […]
We’ve been having Issues lately. Well, actually, I’ve been having issues. Specifically, issues involving the King of Everything and what I consider to be territory akin to the Papal State, otherwise known as me, my body, my bathroom and my bed.

He seems disconnected, it’s like he doesn’t care about the new baby.
She doesn’t pay any attention to him anymore, not since the baby arrived.
If you found this website because you’re considering divorce… if you’re feeling lost, angry, resentful, confused, and/or terrified now that your little family includes a baby, I recommend that you read […]
I am secretly very proud of my son, usually. It doesn’t help that today, I forgot my cell at the new office (yay, new office!) and when I took the KoE back with me to pick it up, my compatriot on the business development side of things waited til my son’s back was turned […]
Do you worry that you won’t be able to provide a balance for your child as he or she grows up and misses a father figure? Some of you are full-time solomothers, single parents without significant involvement from your child’s father (and, I suspect, there are some solodads who lurk and read here; know I […]
I’m sure you’ve read about this one by now: Mom finds alcohol in the car she bought for her 19 year old son, and so she takes out an ad in the local paper and sells it. Not only does she sell it, but she tells the whole town why:
“OLDS 1999 Intrigue. Totally uncool parents […]
