Mother-Of-The-Year Helps Daughter Beat Up Her 12-Year-Old Friend

Mother-Of-The-Year Helps Daughter Beat Up Her 12-Year-Old Friend

You often hear bad parenting blamed for the behavior of children. If you hear a child swear, it’s always, Well, where do you think he learned that? I’m usually in agreement with this theory. After seeing this story – even more so. A California mother allegedly waited in an alley with her daughter to help her beat up another classmate. Who gets the mother-of-the-year award? Not her.

Hey Brandi And LeAnn,This Girl On Girl Crime Has To Stop – Now Go To Your Rooms!

Hey Brandi And LeAnn,This Girl On Girl Crime Has To Stop - Now Go To Your Rooms!

I can’t be the only mom who looks at the feud between Brandi Glanville and LeAnn Rimes and thinks it can be solved by sending them both to their rooms and grounding them from having access to the Internet for a while. Now, I may not be an expert on Real Housewives or country music, but I am an expert on other things, like candy and Adam And The Ants and the BBC television show Luther, so I can say as an expert on things that both Brandi and LeeAnn need to STFU and stop drama-vomiting all over the world and remember that they are not only grownass women, but they are grownass women who are supposed to be co-parenting children.

But I’m almost positive the Countess would not approve, considering she doesn’t approve of much. I can’t imagine having to be a dancer while pregnant! During my pregnancies I was always exhausted, and prone to falling asleep by eight o’clock, but even had I worked the day shift I would have demanded frequent naps and back rubs. The poor pregnant girl involved in this altercation was obviously distraught because everyone knows that a dollar bill can buy you things that pregnant women need, like a candy. More »

Splitsville: Can You Stay Out Of A Fight Between Your Kids And Their Father?

Welcome to Splitsville. This weekly column will focus on parenting after a divorce, break-up or one-night stand that didn’t end like a Katherine Heigl movie.

Parents and kids fight. It’s never pleasant or pretty. In my personal experience, it’s the most heart-wrenching part of parenting. I hate knowing that I’ve hurt or upset my child. But at the end of the day, it’s my job to be in charge and to be responsible. So, whether I like it or not, I put my foot down and keep a straight face when my three year old tells me, “We’re not best friends anymore, Momma!” To her, this is one of the greatest insults she can bestow.

Those fights are difficult, but luckily I have the time and space to work through them. Her father, on the other hand, doesn’t have that luxury. With their limited time together, what happens when fights don’t get resolved and hurt feelings linger for weeks in between visits? More »
