When I-bop neared the end of her childhood (she recently turned 18) I began to receive a lot of comments about how ‘exceptional’ I was as a mother because I managed to raise this incredible young woman in spite of having had her as a teen. I simply thank them and try to change the [...]
This is a Public Service Announcement from PGB: prime reproduction age for women is 15-25. Human biology has not caught up with societal expectations. While I don’t feel that most teens in the United States can handle parenthood (given that this culture has a delayed childhood that extends into the early 20s) I do feel [...]
1. You know when their physical characteristics become irrelevant – you can look at your partner and truly feel that it wouldn’t matter to you if they lost a limb or got badly burned or scarred or whatever. 2. You know when you want to raise children with them. If you don’t want kids, you’ll [...]
I’ve been writing on the edges of my children’s time for so long. I learned the hard way that when you have small children it’s very difficult to set and stick to a writing schedule that involves any time that they are awake. Once they got school-age it was easier to write during the day [...]
While my relationship with my children is very very very important to me, I think it is important and necessary that I am able to love and devote myself to someone other than them. Otherwise I will be a wreck when they are grown and have a life independent of me. I know women like [...]
My son Sbop, age 12, is growing like a weed so sleeps a lot. This is him napping on the couch after school one day. He said Mom I’m going to shut my eyes for a few minutes then go skateboard. He slept for half an hour, then got up and went skateboarding, came home, [...]
I’m having some issues with/about my mother lately and I feel the need to think about what a good mother she’s been and how she nurtured me the best she could. My mother is one of my mothering influences. She met my father at the ripe old age of 21 and married him soon after, [...]
Commenting Policy This blog is powered by blogger but you do not have to be a blogger member in order to comment. I do have word verification (a picture of letters and/or numbers will come up when you add a comment and you have to enter their sequence) turned on to weed out spam bots. [...]
Remember the post Objectifying Black Babies…A Teacher’s Comment to My Child? Well it was featured on Being Mama Daily! BMD is a blog that showcases real journal entries from women raising black children all over the world. Scroll down to read the posts and following discussion.
Last night Mercury Man and I went to a student-led conference meeting at Sbop’s school. Each student led their parents into the classroom and explained what they did in class and how the grading period went. Sbop did very well, he told us about his various individual and group projects and what he liked and [...]
The only 2 people who really know what’s going on in a marriage are the 2 people in it. Know and understand what this means. Not only does it mean that other folks can’t tell you what to do with your marriage, it also means that you shouldn’t even tell other folks about the inner [...]
My sons made a bike ramp last Saturday after complaining about being bored. I said go outside and play. They whined, then went outside and had a blast! They rode over and over this ramp for hours on their bikes and skateboards. Big fun!
To all you mothers out there. I am going to hang out and relax all day, doing absolutely no mother-related work today. No cooking, no laundry, no running around doing stuff for the kids, and definitely no housework. I’m just going to lay in bed most of the day writing on the laptop. Usually for [...]
I joined Steve Pavlina’s Million Dollar Experiment out of sheer curiosity. So far I have manifested $49. In order to count money that comes to you as a result of this experiment, you must not have done anything special to get it. $24 and some change was a refund check for a product I returned [...]
I decided to move my weight and fitness posts to their own blogs. My intention for Trula’s Blog: On Being a Writer & Mother was to write about parenting my kids, my various mother-related writing projects, my marriage, and other personal things. The Fitness Challenge was taking the focus off of that. I also have [...]
New blog I’m starting up: Personal Development for Mothers This blog is for mothers who want less stress, more fun, and increased awareness in parenting and personal development. You are more than ‘just’ a mom. Rediscover yourself & experience personal growth. I’ll talk about parenting related issues but the focus of this blog is to [...]
