You can't make someone be your best friend.

Mothers and fathers do really crazy things with the best of intentions.

Sleeping with your phone in your bedroom is never a good idea, but it's even worse when you're bullied online because it's too tempting to stay up all night trying to "fix" the situation - which isn't possible anyway.

In my own family, my mother had my sister when I was 15 and for various reasons, I was extremely involved in raising her.

Good home-school educational plans have the kids in groups with other children often and consistently. Because common sense dictates that isolating people is never good and home-schooled children really benefit from being in those type of programs.

As an expert, I can deal with complex problems. As a mother it is much, much harder.

Being a parent does not give you an excuse for bad manners.
