Pants Rule for Children

In a world that is increasingly supportive of pedophilia, it is important that we remain vigilant with our children. Even if you have to print out this image and post it in your children's room as a reminder. Whatever we have to do, we must remain vigilant.

My 4 Children Are Exceptionally Privileged

By Tasha Vanzie I know this woman and family. Very blessed in all ways including financially. They are a black family, who are homeschoolers, 13 yr old has already graduated from high school. Victimhood, crazyhood, underachieving on purposehood (because it is the 'black' thing to do) is for the birds. Black people who have yet to awaken from the deeply debilitating liberal agenda will only sink further into the underclass. Black people who believe in their own humanity and God given equality are succeeding and living joyful - regular - lives... Far away from the growing prison-like nature of underclass environments and mentalities.

Charity Begins At Home

Our 8 year old has trouble wrapping her mind around cleaning out her room and often takes hours working on one dresser of clothing. Our 13 year old has trouble deciding how she wants to tweak the arrangement of her room and has been at a stand still in regards to moving the project to completion. Our 16 year old just needs a good ole fashion, full on, clean out demolition service and the completion of her RATHER artistic wall decor that she started months ago. I've got to finish spray painting a gold antique-style finish on the artwork frames I want to hang in our newly redesigned dining room. Hubby would like to get the tall ladder and clean the sky window and, of course, I have a couple of projects for him such as hanging a few plants from the ceiling. We'd also...

A Mother’s Responsibility To Her Children

During a bloody Father's Day weekend in Chicago, among the many dead is a 3 year old boy. He was shot dead while in a car that was being driven by his step-father; who was the actual target of the murderers. The step-father only suffered a minor grazing by the bullet and refused medical help. While the usual neighborhood admonishment takes place with a small gathering of local ministers and folks displaying public tears over the senseless violence they endure, I take a step back from my immense disgust at the entirety of this so-called 'black' experience of living in the 'hood to once again focus on the adage: 'What we allow, persists. What persists becomes the culture'. Yes, I am on the outside looking in. Yes, I have, for a short time, lived in the 'hood of Atlanta (while I was...

Do Your Children Need You to Be Their Adult Friend?

By Pam Sorooshian Something that has rattled around in my head for years is the line, "You're the parent, not their friend." I was just reading a news article and someone was quoted as saying: "Your kids don’t need a 40-year-old friend. They need a parent." What a tragic dichotomy that one little line sets up! Every single time that line has ever entered my head, it was leading me in the wrong direction. Every time. What is a friend? I'm not talking about the schoolmates teenagers go out partying and drinking with. Not talking about the 5-year-old kid your child happens to play with at the park that day. I'm talking about real friendship.1. a friend: one attached to another by affection or esteem Knowing what I know now, with my kids grown, I strongly feel tha...
