Drinking the Haterade
I took a swig of the haterade while I was reading some posts on my facebook page this morning (see, this is why I shouldn’t even get on facebook). I had a fb friend post a link to a blog about mothering. Then I read, on that blog, her manifesto on parenting, and though I agree with her notions in general, she lost me at the part about gentle discipline. I can only assume, due to her overall tone, that she must be the parent of small children and is NOT in a blended family.

It’s not easy being mean…
Money is statistically at the root of most marriages that end in divorce. Irreconcilable differences is the other most noted reason cited in the dissolution of marriages. What do we have in our backlog of marital wars? We fight about the kids. More specifically we fight about one kid. His kid. My stepson.

RSA (aka Reluctant Step-Parents Anonymous)
I always said I would never date anyone who had been previously married, and although that one was somewhat negotiable, I thought I was totally firm about children from a previous relationship.
