Dealing with Difficult Neighbors - Blog Entry

I imagine the mother has her hands full, but that doesn't mean her children should be allowed to cause others so much grief. A friend of mine used a video camera to capture the antics of such a child near her home. It was the only way to get the police to do something. Still, she didn't want the kid to get into real trouble, but having the police speak to him seemed to get his attention...

Best of luck, TJP. I hope things change for the better.

Radical Feminism Takes on the "Mommy Bunch" - Blog Entry

01 Jun 2008 09:24 AM

The fact that they tout "choice" and then proceed to determine which choices are the "right" ones, speaks volumes. Being a good mother is a worthy choice whether Ms. Hirshman and her ilk feel it is or not. Who are they to decide what is best for all women? They certainly don't speak for me. As I've said before, I believe in fair treatment for women, but I'm loathe to be called a feminist. Too many who use that label, give it a bad name, IMO.

Thanks for your comment.

Facing a Marriage Crisis - Blog Entry

One book that really helped me was "For Better or for Best" by Gary Smalley. It's an older book, but excellent. It sounds like it has some similarities to the one you've been discussing (I believe I reviewed it here in the Marriage Blog, once upon a time...)

I don't know that I'm terribly wise when it comes to relationships... I guess a good word would be "invested." I just hope that sharing what I've learned (and trust me, I still have a lot to learn) may help others, because I hate to see people hurting.

Besides, it's always easier for those of us on the outside looking in to see a different perspective...

Thank you for your kind words, Courtney. Too kind! (but don't stop, LOL). :)

Facing a Marriage Crisis - Blog Entry

I haven't read the book (but have read others and seen real life examples) and I firmly believe that empathy is a key component of any relationship. The problem is, we don't always know what the other person thinks or feels in order to empathize... That's where communication comes in. Unfortunately, the other person may not completely understand, or be able to express, what he (or she) is feeling. Especially when it's something like "jealousy" (for lack of a better word) over your time and attention to someone else who needs you. People feel guilty for having such feelings, since they know the other person needs you, but they don't know what to do with those feelings...

Relationships are very demanding but also worth the effort. I wish you the best, Court. I hate that you're going through all this.

Dads and Makeovers - Blog Entry

So sweet... but funny too. Reminds me of my husband playing "divo" with our girls. One really busy day, he took the time to play, but then had to hurry out... he forgot to take the little neon colored plastic barrettes out of his hair. He got some strange looks at the gas station and shyly began removing barrettes. LOL... still cracks me up and endears him to me at the same time. :)
