Single Parenting Is Not a Disease

Contrary to popular belief, single parenting is not a disease. It’s not an illness overtaking society, or an addiction that must be overcome no matter what. “Hello, my name is Molly Jo, and I’m a Single Parent.” Yes, it’s a dilemma that can be draining on society. But it’s not always something to be pointed at with pity. Being a single parent doesn’t make me a cancer on society any more than eating lettuce makes you a vegetarian. If you only eat lettuce, even that doesn’t make you a vegetarian. It doesn’t even make you a rabbit. Rabbits eat more than just lettuce. It makes you a lettuce eater.  Read more >

boxing gloves

Dear Mouthy Housewives, Recently, my 4-year-old son was at a party when one of the kids got in his face and told my son he would shoot him in the face and kick his head off his body!! Needless to say my son came to me immediately sobbing. I comforted him and told him not to listen to the other little boy but later that night, he woke up with nightmares about it. Now I'm angry and not quite sure what to do about it. The little offender's mom is not a friend of mine but we do share a lot of friends in common and they live close by so we will have to see them.  Read more >

bathing suit shopping

I know it's only February and you don't want to think about bathing suits right now (though the President's Day Sales on bathing suits was hot, hot hot!). But this post by Anna at Hidden Ponies is a gem! Who knew that taking your kids bathing suit shopping could be so awesome! (Though she does have some cons as well.)  Read more

ironing baby clothes

My fiancé is everything I'm not. He is, for the most part, calm and cool and collected. I am not. He can quell whining with a single word, make the kids laugh without effort and even banish them to their rooms without seeming like a big meany. I cannot. Not to mention he looks even more calm, cool and collected next to my more intensely feisty and frazzled personality.  Read more >
