They form opinions and think for themselves, which occasionally leads to piss-poor decision making. My kids were no different. Discipline is necessary if you want to keep kids away from drugs and parole officers. Husband and I had to figure [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While shopping in Greenwise the other day, I noticed a mom in sandals and dreadlocks raising hell about the lack of vegan options for her 8 year-old. She threatened a boycott, quite loudly in fact, because her daughter was an organic being and much too precious for pesticides, animal secretions, and hormones. As I stood [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have two little boys and love their rough and tumble ways – it suits me. No idea what I’d do with a daughter. In general, girls scare me with their Barbie dolls and princess parties. I don’t even know how to braid hair. As a teacher, female students repelled with low self-esteem and emotional [...]]]></description>

They finally get their beautiful and fresh-smelling bundle of joy to sleep, go online to brag about Apgar scores with 500 of their closest Facebook friends, and advocate some of the most bizarre and mind-baffling ideas since the womb song.
