Eight is Enough!

January 3, 2009 By

Two brothers 20081229 - 04For those following my blog, you know that I have two beautiful boys, Jeffrey (4) and Tyler (6 days).  My parents have 8 grandchildren which is a blessing.  However, all 8 are boys.  You have got to see our get togethers.  Boys can really play rough.

I remember when I told my mom that my second child was going to be a boy.  She told me that she was very happy and that all that mattered was that he was healthy.  I believe her but I know that some part inside her wishes for a granddaughter.  Having two boys is a true blessing.  Believe me when I say that I did not care one way or the other if it was a boy or girl.  There are thousands of women out there who try desperately just to have a child that they cannot have.  Who am I to be upset over the gender?

Dealing with Relatives Who Disagree with Your Parenting Choices

October 6, 2008 By

This article was written by Guest Blogger Alice Seba of Schmoozins.

Why Do They Disagree Anyway?

Many times your relatives disagree with something you do or don’t do as a parent because they don’t understand why you chose the route of parenting you do. If this is the case in your family, take the time to listen to their concerns first. Then, be sure to voice yours as well. You might be surprised at how they will come around.
