I was wondering if there are any other single moms on here who are, like me, a little overchallenged with their teenage son's puberty issues? Unfortunately none of my friends have a teenage son, so I was hoping to find someone on here...

Over the last few days he just keeps telling me how much he loves time when it's just the two of us. He's so sweet!

School starts in a few weeks. I worry for my oldest son.
He had a run in with his bullies at the pool the other day. A stark reminder of how horrible his little life was at school just a few short months ago.
The summer was a...

What can I say my baby is 4, & so smart for his age! He brings me great joy everyday, I couldn't ask for a more wonderful, outgoing, courageous, happy little boy! Im the mom but he acts like he has to take care of me... He hates when I...

I'm a proud mom of a beautiful 20 month old boy.  Today, like every day, I woke up to his cry and as we began our usual routine I was overwhelmed with sadness and joy all at the same time.  Life's routines overwhelm us and we...

His monumental 21st birthday is just a couple weeks away. Home for a short summer vacation we are investigating our new state together. Driving the ribbons of highway, I sit in the passenger seat as he shares his dreams and goals. My...

Tater Tot is 6 now, and is one little bundle of pure, sincere, sweetness! He has a heart bigger than the Universe...He loves me, and he shows it. He says it often, and he means every word, unconditionally. He is free with his hugs...

It is no big surprise that I have been in the dumps lately. Having a hard time finding a smile, let alone any joy in my day.
So, I go through the motions for most of it. Laundry, dishes, cooking, etc.
The other night I was in the...

 I have something that made me smile right to my toes, and warmed my heart by a million degrees. Tater Tot got out of line at baseball practice tonight, came running over to where I was on the bench, threw his little arms around me...

My oldest burst into tears upon my picking him up from school today. He found out that his best friend is moving to another school, and he was devastated. :( 
My heart aches for him. I know how he feels. That happened to me too, when I...

this evening my son carefully,with great gentleness, brought me a dead....dry .....crispy... ladybug.. and proclaimed that it needs to go to the "bug dr" i don't like bugs myself.... but... tomorrow... i will put crispy bug in a little...

Woke up this morning knowing that sometime today we were getting snow, sleet and freezing rain. Of Course weather people got it wrong once again... I dropped my son off at daycare... thankful that after a 4 day weekend... I would be...

 Yesterday was the wedding day of our only son. I won't bore all of you with the typical details of how much I love him and how highly I think of him, what a perfect baby, boy, and man he was/is.... instead, I will share with you how...

My little son is my youngest child. But I look and wonder- how did he get so tall?

How has he started school? He still feels like the baby, I remember all too well his birth.

How has he got so many friends? Once upon a time he'd...

Sometimes I wake up and look at my boys and I can't believe it's possible to love somebody so much.

I know biology, I know the facts. But I look at them and I'm amazed that these four amazing personalities were once clusters of cells...

"...she's not a coach's wife." was what I heard coming from his mouth as he sat in the overstuffed, leather chair. This came after he had been lecturing me about how I should end a relationship because I have no plans to move it to the...

Are you working on the baby “factory”? People asked without any shame. I was 25 years old and had my own business, I was young, beautiful my life was planned out, I felt like I still had all the time in world for having kids and...

My son had to grow up fast because of my troubled marriage and I regret that.
But he has turned into a fine and handsome young man with respect for others that his father never possessed.
He is now  the man of the house, and a good man...

Went to the park by my house over the weekend and had an eye opening moment. I was there watching, holding, running and generally playing around with my son. There were a few other families around as well.
Another man came by with his...
