After I read this I laughed so loud my family had to come and find out what mom was cackling about. Thank you! I needed a laugh. I am a mom of 7 ages 16 to 5. I felt so much at home with this story!
This is my first ever comment on a blog. I have just entered the blogging world.
Thank you for your open and honest veiw of life.

Oh, Mel! Thanks so much for the laugh today! I definitely needed it! Of course, I’m only laughing because right now my kids are watching PBS and are QUIET!

My sister used to do the same exact stuff to me. I hated it. It just wasn’t fair since she was so much older than me.

Waaaah! I’m adding my whining to the chorus!

Oh, Mel. You are SO kind!

When my youngest son saw the PBS special “Conrad” he thought that he, too, was an ‘instant child’. All the older two had to do was say ‘instant child’ and the kid would flip out. So, of course, they said it ALL the time. At the age of 22 he admits to still getting a creepy feeling in the pit of his stomach if someone even mentions that show.

I must be warped, because the “I do NOT have a brain” cracked me up!

I wish Judy was my next door neighbor, too, Mel. It was thru a link to her site you posted a year ago that I made my way over to her site and I’ve been hooked ever since. She has become one of my dearest friends EVER!! So I thank you, and I hope others follow this link to her, too. They’ll never regret it.

Like my boys telling their younger brother he was really a girl, we just changed the “papers” at the hospital to say boy….. Nice way to have the “boys are different from girls” talk too early.

Why is it boys feel the need to tease? I’ve never figured it out. I just know it starts even before they can talk.

Mel, I can SO relate to your blogging about kids! I’m a work at home/stay at home mom to two teenage boys and a 10yr old girl, and somedays I think you must be living at my house. It makes me feel not-so-crazy to know I’m not alone! Thanks for sharing!
