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

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

Fun Dad vs. Meaniac

By: Mia L. Hazlett 3/15/12 My youngest has coined a made-up word for me, "Meaniac."  Whenever she doesn't get her way, I'm a Meaniac.  Okay.  I'll take it, it means I'm doing my job.  But like I've stated before, me and her father are separated and I am the custodial parent.  I have found for… Continue reading Fun Dad vs. Meaniac

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

Mommy Time

By: Mia L. Hazlett 3/3/12 As a parent, one of the things I struggle with is suppressing my guilt when it comes to "Me Time." I know it is absolutely imperative for my survival within my family to get away from my daughters, but I still have a problem telling them no at times when… Continue reading Mommy Time
