One Word Causes Parental Reality Check

One word, There is one word that makes parents (mostly mothers) everywhere cringe. It sets my teeth on edge, makes my blood pressure rise, and ignites my temper. A word that is innocently said everyday everywhere, but when said "that way" in "that tone" the meaning changes entirely.

Do you have MJ or know someone who does?

There is something that I have been preaching and teaching about since I was in middle school (back then we called it junior high). It has always been one of the most important things that a female of any age should know. I have now passed the knowledge on to my oldest daughter. She now knows about...um...continue
