Thoughts on parenting....

Children need to have loving, caring parents in their lives who enforce fair boundaries and follow through with them.  Contrary to all of these " new-age" parenting theories out there (or whatever they are called) that preach that you should "never say no" to your kid and "be their buddy".....yeah, well, tell that to the judge when your kid is 16 years old and in juvenile court!  Children need to learn the meaning of the word "no," and they need to learn how to follow rules and have set parameters.  Welcome to the Real World! And who better to teach these things than the people who love them most?

It's okay to be your child's friend, but you are definitely not his "buddy" -- be the parent!

I'm Gonna Write Me a Blog....

So I've decided to try my hand at blogging.  Of course, now that I am actually going to blog, I can't think of anything to say.  So I'm going to stop now.

P.S.  Feel free to say hello!
