Oh, he is just normal teenager, experimenting He’s just rebelling, he will settle down soon He is a good kid, his company’s bad Its just a little pot and alcohol Then the cops called, he’d killed and stolen to feed his habit. In panic they rushed to help him, but it was too late.

This is the first post I am doing after my sons met with an accident that could have been nasty. I or rather “We” are overwhelmed by the outpouring of concern from the blog world. Thanks a lot people for all the love and concern …. I have told the boys they did not earn [...]

I wrote a post long time back complaining that bringing up two boys without a father is stressful! Motherhood or single parenting is definitely not for wimps My sons not only text each other from the loo, they leave us women at home and go partying out together. Sometimes the results are disastrous I have [...]

What can I say, here I was, walking the air nicely like the cartoon network character I talk about when I came upon this post and plummetted downwards AAAIIIIIIEEEEEEE.  I am totally freaked out – am reminded of ex’s caustic remark when I was home for a long period on maternity leave.  He told me [...]

Whatever will they think of next? I saw this news article – its a small article.  Just hop across and read it – this page can wait.  These people have it all – they have a system which is ready to take infants from parents if the parents can say “I can’t cope”.  Now I [...]
