I love my damn kids more than anything, but watching them grow and become independent was one of the most satisfying experiences of being a parent. A parent's job is to prepare them for the world without you - every individuating step along the way should be celebrated, not mourned.

I suspect it would have been much more loving. It's the spoiled spring effect - the more you have to pretend your child is the best thing ever, the more you internalize your criticism. If you push your kids to do the best they can, and not rewarding their every move, the more reason you have to be proud of their…

Pollyanna here! I love my kids. They probably saved my life. I was a hard-partying girl, but I always knew I wanted kids. They forced me to settle down and be a responsible adult. It was hard to admit to my super-feminist mom that the only thing I really wanted to do was be a Mom.

This is the only place I've ever seen/heard of this character. And I keep asking myself, why? (why do I keep seeing/hearing of her?)

I'm a pasty redhead and I've been bruised by a newspaper! I don't think there's been a time in my life when I haven't had one visible bruise on my body.

Amazingly enough, you'll feel younger again once he's grown up!

The Shriners are a spin-off of the freemasons. They're just masons. I don't know what that means.
