I JUST WANT YOU TO BE THERE
I was watching an interview about Carly Simon and she said something that resonated with me about being a parent : She said the kids don't care what you look like or what you're doing : they just want you to be there. Sometimes that's all a parent needs to do :)

SUPERWOMAN doesn't live here anymore....
In the olden days, women just had to focus on being a housewife. Now the average woman has to put in a whole day at work, fight traffic only to come home to a full day of housework. Has times really improved for women??Or have we suddenly found ourselves burdened with TWO jobs. Tell me what you think.............

Short note from me :)
Hi friends!!! My very creative mother made me a piano shaped cake ( which had a stand ) for my ninth birthday. It was a coral pink shade in colour. Back then, we didn't have birthday theme parties and a standard "exciting" birthday party would be held in KFC or McD's. However, now the latest fad especially for younger girls , is to throw a celebrity party and so i've linked to " "how to throw a hannah montana party" for all you frazzled mothers at wits end on what them to throw for your daughter's birthday. Also , i've featured Tom Hogkinson's Idle Parenting. I read his article in the Daily Telegraph and i found his "laissez fairre" attitude towards parenting amusing. So hope you enjoy both links. Take care and happy parenting!!!

How do i protect my children from a nasty divorce?
Trust me, i've seen healthy ,well balanced children come out from a messy divorce. Children are very resillient. Still, try not to make custody a battle because it could tear the children apart. The children are loyal little people so don't make them choose sides.I know this is difficult especially if you feel you've been wronged by your husband but every attempt should be made to ensure that the child's love for BOTH parents is not tested at all. Few children know how to hate their parents and hatred is a wrong path to put a child on, more so when his or her whole life is already uprooted due to the divorce. Remember, in a good divorce, both parents should focus on their child's well being and should be totally engaged in being parents even if they are no longer married to each other.
