Just left a store with the air conditioning on. There was a 18 year old who clearly shops in the toddler dept. my 16 year old boy says how hot it was in the store. Yeah right! Told my husband it was all hormones and he was waving with his winkie. We had a good chuckle, for obvious reasons did not repeat that to our son. LOL

I'm a 1970's child raised in a 1950's mentality. I'm really wanting to insure we instill in our kids, "absolutely no matter what the kids can talk to us. Yes the is a possibility we may be mad, upset, concerned, but we love them and will do what it takes to actively listen."

May I vent about ignorant parents who allow their young children to run free through a parking lot? Did you ever hear of holding your child's hand? #nevertroubletroubletilltroubletroublesyou

Getting stressed out by my daughter who refuses to eat. I can't let a 3 year old live of French Fries!

Everybody knows how to raise other people’s children. Even the Government.

Rearing a child is among the greatest responsibilities, perhaps the greatest, that an adult can undertake. And also among the most rewarding.

Poor parenting carries a heavy cost for both children and society.

There is no shortage of parenting books or websites for those seeking guidance on child-rearing. A new state-funded website covering such topics as “tots’ bots” to help parents choose which nappies to buy can hardly be filling an information black hole.

But even when it comes to achieving the worthiest of goals, the job need not always fall to the Government.

LOL My son helped out at a Flea Market today and a bunch of folks gave him things for helping them load stuff up. So he comes home with this pile of stuff some of which do not fit him or stuff that he is not interested in. He did not want to say "no" to them so he said thank you and brought stuff home.

Just answered the phone pretending to be Peggy from Capital One....16 year old not amused when his friend hung up cause he thought he had the wrong number! LOL

Horrible parenting story: a teenager's parents bought her boob implants for a graduation present. Makes the tanning mom look like June Cleaver.

Ugh 15 going on 2 sometimes. Lord give me strength

When my son was 2 the idea of me being a single parent and all that came with it scared the crap out of me. 25 years later I give thanks for all joy and special moments I've been blessed with experiencing.

Re-experiencing the joys and pains of life, through the eyes of a child. Now that's the greatest blessing a parent can receive, among others.

Ain't always easy. Mostly incredibly awesome. Sometimes beyond frustrating. Rewarding when good.

Milestone: when your eighteen year old daughter is excited and about her brand new apartment!!!! Inside your a little sad when they don't need you that way anymore, but the biggest part of your heart smiles from ear to ear because you know you did something right =)

That moment when you don't know if you should hug them or kick their ass......yep, yep, yep......

some parents really don't know when their child is lying..

OMFG. If this 3 year old does not STFU in this restaurant, I'm gonna stab her parents with my fork. The kid has been screaming that she has to poop, FFS take her to poop.

Parenting milestone: My daughter landed her 1st job yesterday.

My babies aren't babies any longer

I really need help, wouldn't mind not having to threaten my boy with acts of violence to get something done. It just seems like bad parenting.

What fun thing can we do with the girls today?

I'm so proud of all my kids @willrapforfood @d0pes0ul and my mini me~Kiana and soon to my Dtr in law @MarjorieAnneM

starting a thread of funny, oh no they didn't, parenting stories!

First check in. I've been parenting for 31 years. I hope this is a spot to share stories! Preferably funny ones! lol

Dear me, what a fuss about nothing,

If I live to be OLD (pls dear god!), there are some names I’d rather not be called by my one's. “Coffin-dodger” is one of them. “Smelly old git” is another. Could they also try to avoid “wrinklie”, “crumblie”, “bed-blocker” and “miserable codger”? I’ll just leave that on record. Thanks!

XoxO

And my mom is speaking to my dad unkindly -.-... *sigh* my parents......

I love bedtime with my one year old son ... Putting him into his "jamas", snuggling, reading a book. It's our time and I would not trade it for the world ;-)
