Breasts…

by Brandy

I’m sure more than a handful of dad’s have been in this situation…I know all of my girls have been this way!

At this time I do not allow Morgan to have a facebook. There is just too much on there that is not appropriate, for instance the porn hackers that have been filling my stream with horrible nasty images. Besides that though…she just isn’t old enough in my opinion.

I see some people that let their 7 and 8 year old children have a facebook…wonder how they deal with porn being blasted at their children? I dunno, I’m not telling them how to parent…I just don’t get it.

Anyhow, I found this online and thought it was great! Apparently this boy had been pretending to be something that he is not and his father found out. What happened when he did can be seen below!

Way to go dad! You get an A+ in parenting from me!

If Only all the Dads Would Participate…

by Brandy

This could be the change we need! If all dads of boys would participate for a week, I bet we could knock out this behaviour pretty quickly!

I hate seeing someones underwear! I hate my that my girls are subjected to seeing this sort of thing when we leave our home. I would be down however, for seeing some dads do it for a few weeks so that maybe these kids would move on to a different fad. Hasn’t this been going on too many years already?

Wordless Wednesday, Carnival

by Brandy

The night before we went camping we decided to hit up the local carnival. The girls are all at ages to enjoy this now and enjoy it they did!

I thought Emma would be a bit scared, she isn’t as adventurous as Lauren or Morgan. I was wrong. I think Emma Loved the carnival the most! She would have stayed all night riding those rides if she could have had her way! Read More→

Emma Hates Getting her Hair Washed…

by Brandy

Help! She screams bloody murder like you are hurting her. She does this before you even get her hair wet! I swear I freak thinking someone walking by is going to call the cops thinking I am abusing this child.

I have had talk after talk with her. I’ve tried letting her do it all her self. It just is not working! She will trash around and make this huge deal when I try to do it.

I need some advice!

Tonight after her bath I laid in her bed with her and we had the talk yet again. I told her that she has to be clean or she can get sick. I also told her that she likes her hair to be pretty and it needs to be washed. Then I told her that if she doesn’t want to wash her hair we may need to shave her head.

She says….

“That’s Ok, I can wear a wig mama…”

Help me…

Trying This Parenting.com Photo Contest Again

by Brandy

This time I entered a photo I snapped of Morgan a few days ago. She is so hard to take pics of anymore. Always running and hiding from the camera or sticking her tongue out and making goofy faces. I was so happy with how this one turned out though! You can see how pretty she is and still see her personality shining through. The photo contests are free to enter and they have them every month. From babies to tweens! Go enter a cute shot of your little one! You never know if you could have won unless you try!

I hope if you have a few minutes that maybe you could vote for Morgan. I didn’t even tell her I had entered her….sneaky mama. You can vote once per day until the end of the contest.

Vote for me in this contest!
