Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI'm on the Brink of Baby and I have to admit that the whole experience has been better than I thought it would be. I feel more myself than I thought I would, people are nicer to me than I could have expected, and it's been thrilling to experience baby growing inside me. I can't sugar coat month nine though. Month nine is a beast for several reasons, many of which, unfortunately involve...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basTruth: Newborn poop does not stink. Not in comparison to toddler poop, that is. This is an important distinction.
Myth: Reading 427 books, having a Dalai-Lama-Zen state of mind, and gently guiding your toddler to toilet will result in a happy, productive, and ideally rapid transition from Pampers to panties.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basAs a mom of three, some might call me a parenting veteran. But that would imply I've retired from the field of battle, which would be wrong. I'm still deep in the trenches.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI am a back-sliding pacifist. This means that I mouth words of non-violence, project a forgiving and accepting mien, and spout utopian political opinions loudly—conveniently so, as someone who has not lost a close friend or family member in an armed conflict since World War II.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWanna get on my bad side? Buy my kid a toy that makes noises.
We all have our shopping crutches for kids: some are gaga for stuffed animals, others (like me) give smug gifts of "educational value," and yet others (like my mister) buy whatever is closest to the cash registers for quick in-and-out shopping.

There are a few days on the calendar that are particularly dangerous for Mother Hens.
1. New Year's Eve - because we're a little shnockered and the kids are spending the night at Grandma's
2. Anniversaries - because sex is a given
3. Valentine's Day - all of the above.
You may protest "I'm done! Really!" But is that true? Do you feel that twinge when you're holding your best...
