The Single Parent Perspective

Just what is a sanctimonious bitch anyway?

C.K. Matthews — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 20:39:45 +0000

I was in a chat room (per say) and someone commented that their comment about calling someone a sanctimonious bitch was deleted. If someone is calling someone else a sanctimonious bitch what does that say about the character of the person calling someone out as being a sanctimonious bitch?

Definition of sanctimonious (Google sanctimonious and [...]

Who’s to blame?

C.K. Matthews — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:49:20 +0000

What is it with people getting upset over children using foul language? What’s the big deal? If I had to guess I would say at least 75% of the adults in the US talk no better. The problem with parents today is they think children should do what I say and not what I do. [...]

Respect is a Two Way Street

While reviewing the video, Facebook Parenting: For the troubled teen, it scared me to think this father was being hailed as a hero. What I saw was not a hero. What I heard and continued to read in the comments on the video page and as well on Mr. Jordans blog site was [...]

Condoms and teenage boys

C.K. Matthews — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 17:29:24 +0000

“Mom, when are you going to buy me my first box of condoms?”

That was the question my 14 year-old son asked me yesterday. He probably had heard me tell someone how I bought my oldest son his first box of condoms when he turned 14. He then followed with, “I’m just kidding.” But was [...]

Don’t Hurt Me In The Name Of Love

Karman — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 14:29:22 +0000

Today I will broach a subject that is as taboo as cancer was in the early 1950′s and before. Domestic and Sexual Violence is not a subject we want to talk about, it is not something we want to hear about, it is something we want to ignore in hopes that it will go away.

Living on a budget is a must-do for most single parents but this doesn’t mean we have to give up on the idea of healthy eating. Sometimes the biggest problem is just getting the kids to adapt to eating less junk food and actually eating their veggies. Have no fear – it can be [...]

Facing the Mirror

Karman — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 16:38:51 +0000

Each morning we awake and make the decision to either get out of bed or roll over and hit the snooze (maybe to sleep the day away). If you are a single parent that decision is suddenly made for you by the cry of a baby or a new bed mate who is ready for [...]

“Pride Goeth Before The Fall”

or Oh Crud I have to go to the state for help

Proverbs 16:18

As a single parent we all at one time or another have to swallow our pride and go into those doors that hide those angry questioning eyes that are so judgmental. Whether they are judgmental or not there are many times [...]
