children

I have been worrying for almost two decades about my children and everything that has to do with their safety and well-being. It feels like I've been standing with my arms outstretched for so long I don't know what it feels like to have them swinging at my sides. I'm completely exhausted from being 'on'.

 This is a pretty simple question but I need help from all the Moms who have mothered six year olds before me. I have a lot of parenting books that have book answers (probably designed for book children, made of paper) but what I need is the answer that will make my daughter happy and not ridiculed by the other children who have their own opinions. This is the question: Is Santa real?

Alzheimer's has been on my mind a bit. It's something I've wondered and worried about over the years and something I've watched friends struggle with as their moms slipped from them.

I received this email and I thought it was really reflective of what my name is mom.com is trying to do by making a place for women to share the journey of Motherhood. If you enjoy this advice as much as I did tell your friends about this site or even just send them the link.

Getting old is no laughing matter - literally. Adults on average laugh 15 times while children laugh 400 times. That's 25 giggles and guffaws for every hour they are awake!!!
