Me: “Do you know who is Mitt Romney is?”
16 year-old: “Oh ya, isn’t he like some rock star….right?”
Wrong. Many teens today, as well as adults are extremely unprepared and uninterested in the upcoming primaries and elections. As a 24 year-old, I can honestly say that I did not become interested in politics until more recently and wish that my friends and I had been more involved from an early age. It is really important that parents help their teens and kids become more involved and informed u… Continue

We have all heard of helicopter parenting. You know, the kind of parents that are uber involved in every aspect of their child’s life and sort of buzz and run circles around them as they grow up.
I work with a lot of parents and kids, I hear from a lot of parents and kids, and I spend all day reading about parents and kids today. Something about the term helicopter parenting wasn’t fitting right with the kinds of questions and problems that parents and youth bring to me and talk about.

This is a posting form my blog Father Doesn't Know Best:
In the world of comedy, bathroom humor and bodily function noises are the lowest of the low-brow jokes, often reserved as a backup plan for unsuccessful stand-up comedians. The result of using a bathroom joke is typically a cheap laugh and an even cheaper feeling.
The reason for the failure of bathroom humor, in adult audiences, is that it's too basic. It's comedy used in… Continue

This is a posting from my blog Father Doesn't Know Best:
One of the most disturbing changes in the lives of my wife and myself, since the birth of our daughter, has been our strange new obsession with her bowel movements.
While I can't speak for all parents, or their personal degree of fecalphilia, I can say that I believe the root of our own fixation started just a few days after we brought our daughter home.
At our two-day check… Continue

This is a posting from my blog Father Doesn't Know Best:
The moment that I saw my daughter for the very first time, I was in such a state of shock and awe that I couldn’t tell you any other details about the room around us, other than the image of my baby at the end of my tunnel-vision. Later, as everything calmed down, and our family came in to the recovery room to visit us (more specifically, our daughter) my mind was flo… Continue

This is a posting from my blog Father Doesn't Know Best:
Upon arriving at the hospital to deliver our daughter, it didn’t take long for a quick ultrasound to discover that our daughter, who had been in a proper head-down birthing position just a few weeks ago, had felt the spontaneous urge to do one final somersault, and was now in a breach, or “butt-first”, position.
Because of our daughter’s gymnastic talents, our doctor… Continue

This is a posting from my blog Father Doesn't Know Best:
I wish I could say that the title of this post was a little over dramatic, but sadly it is not. Up until a very short time before my daughter was born, everything I ever knew about childbirth was based on a series of misconceptions, influenced by years of sitcoms, romantic-comedies, and stories from people who had never even had children. How could I have ever known t… Continue

This is a posting from my blog Father Doesn't Know Best:
My life, since the birth of my daughter, has been filled with incredible moments that have made me happier than I ever imagined I could be. But, before I could enjoy those little moments of joy, I had to take a ride on a roller coaster called pregnancy, a grueling ten month journey, for which I was ultimately (at least partially) responsible for, and yet societal norm… Continue

This is a post from my blog Father Doesn't Know Best:
Several months ago, my wife gave birth to a beautifully amazing (as well as purple and somewhat slimy) baby girl, at which point the title of "Father" was thrust onto the permanent record of my life, and I became someones Dad. At that moment, so many things about parenting became suddenly clear to me, but it wasn't always that way.
For the nine and a half months prior t… Continue

So first entry blogging...what took so long? I have always liked to write and I tend to be outspoken, seems natural to blog then, doesn't it? So my excuses...not enough time, too tired, no one will read what I write...you know the usual. But something told me to get busy, write those thoughts....yes, the Random Musings!
The trouble is what do I start with? Lord, I have had the life experiences, so I should never run out of material. They started wayyyyyyy back when I was 4! Yup. FOUR. My father… Continue

As a multi-generational blogger, I hang with many different folks, both my age, and those who are probably the same age as my daughters. I hold many interests - remember, I’m the “reference librarian“ wannabe - and enjoy discussing different topics - food, crafts, fashion, kids, lifestyle, travel. You know, ‘different strokes for different folks.’ That sort of thing.
This whole mommy blogger thing is just too much and getting on my nerves. Since I’m a Baby Boomer, I’m way too savvy for drama, a… Continue

The babers is asleep in her stroller, it is raining outside, and the house is actually quiet. Normally, I would take this opportunity to run around the house frantically cleaning, but today I am forcing myself to enjoy some “me time” and sit on the sofa with a mug of coffee, my laptop, the cat, and my thoughts. I had almost forgotten how good it feels to relax … to slow things down … to be “alone”. It’s like the instant I became a mom, I started moving at lightning speed. Everything is ru… Continue

Hi Everyone at MomLogic! I am happy to finally be a part of this community. I am looking forward to getting to know atleast a few of you if not a lot more. I am a shut in. Ha ha ha! Well, I atleast feel like one. I have three young children, 4,2 and 8 months. If I do actually make it out of this house, I am on the way to the park or the grocery store. That's it. My husband is gone with the military frequently, so that means I am on my own a LOT. Also, my family and friends are on the east coast… Continue
