So this is my tribute to crazy mamas like me.Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09563734463817909412noreply@blogger.comBlogger61100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052093900324173348.post-31769025833932982552010-05-09T13:50:00.000-07:002010-05-09T20:57:11.046-07:00

I started this blog over a year ago, to express my views on motherhood. It is so easy when you start out on this journey of motherhood to believe that you will do it all differently. That you can avoid all the mistakes your parents and grandparents made and do it right. You start out young, (in my case very young) without thought to what legacies you bring with you, the things that are part of

What would the trials of teenage life be without friends? Friends are forever, friends can be trusted, friends are loyal, friends keep your secrets, friends want what is best for you...friends would never flirt with your boyfriend.What? Never? Not even if he is really cute? What if you have never went out with him, what if you just like him? What if he asks me for my number? Can I flirt with him

Is there anything worse than watching your beautiful teenager daughter struggle with the issue of boys? This is the hardest thing in the world to me. I just want to tell her what to do, I mean I do tell her what to do, she just doesn't listen;) So let me rephrase, I just want to tell her what to do and make her do it! But I know I can't, I won't, and most importantly I shouldn't.She has reached

I have invited my daughter to my blog. This is her opportunity to disagree with me publicly about what she sees on the blog. I mean after all she and her friends are the source of all my material. Occasionally I will use things from my own past since I was ... how can I say this, well since I was a much wilder kid then she is. I think I will even invite her friends, two of them have already

Yesterday, my daughter sat at the table reading her May issue of Seventeen magazine she was reading the typical dating advice these teen magazines give. On a list of Do's and Don'ts I saw my favorite piece of advice..."Don't be a Textrovert!"This is a subject I have discussed at length with my family and friends. Text messaging seems to me to be the axis of all evil when it comes to communication

Today I am having an identity crisis. I have this view of myself as a parent that I'm pretty cool. I always say my parenting philosophy is "Keeping it Real,"and talk to them (and listen to them)like they are adults, this is especially important if that is how you want them to behave.
