By: Mia L. Hazlett 5/3/12 So what are godparents to you and your family? Well to me they must reflect God (I love how people leave this out even with the given title), must have children, a very similar approach to raising a child, and my kids must know and love them. These are not… Continue reading The Godmuthah!

My Roof, My Rules!
By: Mia L. Hazlett 4/27/12 I was watching this movie called Trust the other night. It's by David Schwimmer and it was excellent. It was about a teen (maybe 14 or 15) who was texting back and forth with a "boy" she met on-line. They finally agreed to meet and it ended up being a… Continue reading My Roof, My Rules!
Stupid Parents say Stupid Things
By: Mia L. Hazlett 4/27/2012 Unfortunately kids don't come with directions and you don't have to have a license to have one. A stupid person can go ahead and have a baby. In fact, two stupid people can conceive a child or two or three or.... When I say stupid, I mean they lack all… Continue reading Stupid Parents say Stupid Things
Cut the Crap!
By: Mia L. Hazlett 4/5/12 Honestly, if I hear one more time in my life, "boys will be boys," I will just scream. I will scare the crap out of whoever just said it. They won't get it and I'll look like a nut job. I've heard this saying my entire life, right up to… Continue reading Cut the Crap!
Goals, Goals, Goals
By: Mia L. Hazlett 3/19/12 Setting goals is one thing. For most it's an extremely easy task. Achieving them is another thing. That takes a whole different mindset. I've found those I've encountered that find it easy to set goals, don't have the honest game plan or intention for follow through. They make a new… Continue reading Goals, Goals, Goals
Healthy Dirty Kids
By: Mia L. Hazlett 3/16/12 Call me old school or whatever, but I'm not real big on the whole hand sanitizer thing. If I think your hands are dirty, go wash them with soap and water. I'm not touching you and you're not touching me if all you use is hand sanitizer after you just… Continue reading Healthy Dirty Kids
When Daddy Doesn’t Show
By: Mia L. Hazlett 3/16/12 The Window Wait. That's what I call it. Sitting by the window waiting for what I know is not going to happen. When my husband and I first separated, Sundays and Mondays were his days with the kids. Sundays began with a 10 or 11am pick-up and Mondays he would… Continue reading When Daddy Doesn’t Show
Honest Liars
By: Mia L. Hazlett 3/15/12 Lies and kids, kids and lies. I believe they go hand in hand. For some I think it is a learned behavior. But for most kids I've met, lying is a result of fear. They fear getting in trouble with whatever they are being confronted with. Is there a… Continue reading Honest Liars
How to Make the Best Parent
By: Mia L. Hazlett 3/14/12 First of all, accept there is no perfect parent. I believe there are good parents. I believe there are bad parents. But perfect, those who believe they are, are the worst. I do believe there are parents out there that are doing their best. I believe I am one… Continue reading How to Make the Best Parent
When You’re Older
By: Mia L. Hazlett 3/14/12 If there is a mean mother, could you please raise your hand or stand. I stand with pride. After ten years of parenting, you have to come at me with more than "mean." Again the name of this blog, Mommy Not Friend. I really don't care if my kids like… Continue reading When You’re Older
