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

So many women keep their anger inside and let it build until they explode and then people blow them off again.

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

I’m sorry that people are so jealous of me [Gretchen Wieners], but I can’t help it that I’m popular.

I think that giving mindless praise is ridiculous. But I understand why parents do it. They want their kids to feel good about themselves. But parents are never going to teach their children true, positive self esteem by praising everything they do.

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.
