  2. Sticky Thread Sticky: Welcome to the CRAZY COUNTRY CLUB!!

    I'll be your host! :D I don't know about all of you, but that's what I feel like we're living in sometimes. We all know how difficult it is to raise teens. Although we all love seeing our children grow and flourish, let's face it...dealing with small children and their temper tantrums,...

  1. Does Your Child Have a Laptop

    And if so, what rules/guidelines do you set on it. Connor (13) got a laptop about 4 months ago since there was so much conflict over having just the one computer in the house. I'm just not sure what guidelines we should be setting on it. The main computer is in the den so we're always aware...

  7. Worried about DS and sex (teen preg., STD's, and abortion all mentioned)

    What a title, I know. I NEVER thought I'd be posting this about Matt. Most of you know me by now, and know that I'm VERY open with my kids about sex, drugs, drinking, etc. and have been with them since a young age. Matt JUST turned 15 (Sept. 1) and it seems that lately his attitude has changed...

  8. Is your house the "it" house to go to?

    i'll admit i wanted it this way. i've always welcomed the kids friends, and let them know that they're always welcome here and we are fortunate in that we have the room. it also gives me great comfort to know they're here and having a good time instead of walking the streets. so generally...

    Connor looks to be experiencing some of the 'joys' of adolescence. He's 10 and while that seems early to me, I've read it is not on uncommon age for children to start getting the signs of adolescence. He's getting more body hair but no BO yet (phew...big relief there! LOL!), he's moody as sin, and...

  19. Movies Shown At School -

    I'm not sure if I'm over reacting..... On Monday I picked up DD and her friend from school and the girls started telling me about a movie their English teacher had shown. Apparently they read a story about a storm, and the teacher decided to show A Perfect Storm. They were giggling over "nudity"...
