But my 3-year-old finished his juice & then got mad because he thought someone else finished his juice, so that future might be in trouble.

Does anyone know when the Olympic kickboxing tryouts are? I think my kids stand a chance. Also, do they need to be awake?

There are people out there who are like "never, ever, EVER make your children feel like their feelings are invalid," but once my son cried uncontrollably because he couldn't get the juice back into his orange, so I'm just suggesting that maybe "never" is a bit extreme.

There’s no better feeling as a parent than watching as your child grows and develops into doing more and more meaningful chores.

My husband took the kids out for the afternoon so I could “get things done”. So far I’ve eaten half a jar of jelly beans, watched a cat roll around outside and stared at the laundry pile
