and a Sense of Parenting Humor!
It’s war, I tell you. Them against us! You must keep your wits (and some parenting humor) if you expect victory. These parenting articles just might help. You see, when your child is very young, you have no idea what they’re up to. But by the time they’re teenagers you find yourself shouting out, “Treason! Treason!” They come disguised as helpless, innocent, chubby, toothless creatures.They study you, learn your weaknesses, and when the time is right – attack! Not convinced that there’s a war on? Let me show you what we’ve uncovered. Maybe then you’ll believe!
