I’m so dismayed.
He’s off his rocker. Today he hit a girl in his class because he didn’t want to share the monkey bars with her. A few days ago, he knocked the same girl’s lunch tray into her lap. He says she teases him and tells him potty jokes. I say I don’t care.

I needed this. I mean, man, what a great song. And the message? Just what I needed to hear today. “Hold on, I’m coming!”
As a single mother (and as a single parent, no, single moms don’t have the corner on the market when it comes to holding down the fort all by their lonesomes), there […]
Apparently, Louise Sloan, author of Knock Yourself Up: No Man? No Problem! A Tell-All Guide to Becoming a Single Mom is taking a bit of heat in the forums for her choice to have a child. Please read the article at Salon and weigh in on the comments there. My personal favorite is from St. […]
This seems to come and go in cycles: Worst. Mother. Ever.
I don’t know what I’d do without my parents. They give me that much-needed sanity break, and were so absolutely here for me when I got sick and had to do the surgery thing, and the recovery thing, and the exhaustion thing which I’m […]
I didn’t comment on all your wonderful notes regarding the King of Everything’s difficulties at school, mostly because I was so overwhelmed by the depth of information and the breadth of compassion you have all shown for that lovely little creature who shares my life.
Thank you.

I think we’ve all read a story or two about a single mother of a teenaged child who is out of control. With a kid who stands 3′8″ in his stockinged feet at four and a half years old, you best believe I’m interested in how to lay the foundations of a strong relationship between […]
Patricia Dalton of the Washington Post writes an amusing, wry, and interesting article on the loss of respect in parental circles. Go ahead and read, “A Lost Art: Instilling Respect”.
Could you imagine if your child had no respect for you? The author writes that one father actually would run from his abusive child.
What kind of […]
Apparently, that’s my title this week. The King of Everything is the most drama-ridden not-even-14 year old who ever rode in on the Pre-K Express, and it’s all my fault. Or it’s his grammy’s fault. Or it’s his Grandpa’s fault. I could play pop psychologist and surmise that he’s angry and sad and hurt that […]
In perusing the Washington Post today, I found a fascinating write up on Superbad as seen through the eyes of a father and his fifteen year old son.
Now, there are a few things I know about. I know I’m a girl, and our feelings and reactions to the world around us aren’t as out […]
It seems we’ve fallen into another golden time we’ll look back on when we’re older–with fondness and nostalgia, I hope. I’m a lucky single mother.
When I was a little girl, my father would take me to Doc Dalinsky’s over on Wisconsin and O Streets. It was a pharmacy, an old fashioned drugstore, where Nettie who […]
