A mom's guide to surviving, not really

So this the letter I received from my son's school. Talking about the Netflix original "13 Reasons Why" . Basically trying to get Parents involved. I understand as parents we should take into account and pick up on the signs that our children give us. I was a troubled teen and I did things for attention from my parents. But how do you really know what's going on with your children? How do you get them to open up if something is happening? I don't want to come home and find my baby bleeding to death in the bathtub. I know this may sound cliche and we've all heard our parents say this growing up but it's true. Things were simpler in my day. Nowadays teenagers get into a fight and everyone pulls their phone out. I've seen grown ass men jump a 13 year old girl. I've seen grown ass men watching a fight of 2 high school girls and taping it on their phones while yelling "yeah pull her shirt off". I've known a school crossing guard that wit...

You know when the alarm clock goes off and if you're anything like me I set my alarm clock a half hour early so I can hit the snooze button a few times. Now once you actually get up, the battle begins!

So the boys grunt and moan before they finally get up. Then there's the fight with toothpaste. Next comes my 4 year old whining about something, anything and everything. The night before you have their clothes picked out and ready all they have to do is get dressed. Sounds simple right? WRONG I walk away to do something else whatever I need to attend to. I come back say 10-15 minutes later this one's fighting with his buttons and the other seemed to have just spaced out and didn't do a thing, not even put one sock on. Oh then there's the usual I can't find my shoes. WTF? We have a desi...

First off, I am a mom of three. A girl(my oldest) and 2 boys. I post a lot about the shenanigans of my children on my Facebook page and my co workers are always telling me how funny they are. I love my kids to death and they're basically all I talk about because well, let's face it they're the only thing I have going on in my life. They are my passion and blogs are usually written surrounding something you're passionate about right? Sorry this not a blog that's going to give you answers on how to make kids eat their vegetables because even as a mom of three I'm still learning and growing and I'd like to learn things from others as well. I absolutely encourage you to engage. Comment, share your funny stories and give me some suggestions. So if you can relate to waking up and seeing that your sons don't always know how to get the pee INSIDE the bowl or how the hell did this kid get rice behind the TV? Even if you just want a good laugh, you don't have ...
