Every stay-at-home mom needs a break from the kids every once in awhile. I know I sure do. I'm a stay-at-home mom of 3 beautiful children. I love my kids with all my heart and with everything in me but even I need to have time for...

momof3inTN Thanks for the website, I'll check that out. I am the same way when I do get a chance to get out, I have to be pushed out the door sometimes. Even just going to the grocery store by myself is a nice change of pace (no yelling to stop running and quit that...

momof3inTN I'm lucky in that my husband is an EMT so should something happen he is well-equipped to take care of it. My concern is that when he does take the kids out (which he has been doing more frequently lately) he doesn't take notice of the fact that he sometimes...

Just curious but what have you seen people doing while driving that is crazy? Anything goes. Mine is either 1) the woman putting on mascara (yes, the car was moving at the time and her eyes were on the mirror) or 2) the man who...

momof3inTN In TN there isn't a law against talking on your cell phone while driving, at least not yet. I see that all the time and can't stand it. Instead of paying attention to driving, they are having a conversation. When I get a call on my phone, while I'm driving, if...

momof3inTN Ok, that's pretty bad if the gameboy addiction is so bad that one cannot even stop and take a break while they are driving. That's a little nuts.

Just looking for opinions. Anyway, I heard this morning that an average of 19 teenage drivers are killed everyday. I know that if kool-aid killed 19 people a day (on average) it would be pulled from the store shelves. So, why do...

momof3inTN It doesn't matter whether or not I have a teenager yet. I have to share the road with them, that makes it everyone's problem. You may be lucky in that your children have never had a ticket or accident, that is not the case with every teenage driver out there....

momof3inTN Fine, everyone needs to start somewhere, let them start after age 18. There is no reason a teenager under 18 needs to be driving. There are school buses to get to and from school. Then, there's always a bike or your feet. I lived a mile outside of town, if I...

momof3inTN My mom made me learn so much about cars before I was allowed to drive. I had to know how to check the oil, change the oil, check the tire pressure, add air to the tires, change a tire, and check all the other fluids. Once I got my learners permit I was also...

momof3inTN Teenagers are not known for concentrating on just one thing. LOL I know that some states have banned cell phones while driving but, unfortunately, TN is not one of them. The number of times I am out doing errands and I see/hear the teens in the car next to me,...

momof3inTN That's not confidence, that's arrogance. There is a difference. I'm all for pulling the licenses of old people as well. As a matter of fact, I have told my mother that I will pull her keys if necessary but I won't let her drive if I see that it is impaired....

momof3inTN No, not strange. I was 19 before I got my driver's license. Even though I lived in rural America, I did not have my driver's license. I got a learner's permit at 17 and so I could drive with a licensed driver in the car with me, but I didn't get my full...

momof3inTN I believe that adhd is, in some ways, similar to autism, more cases are diagnosed all the time, much more than when we were kids. It could be that now we have a name for what some of the kids went through back then (I recall several children I was in school...

Does anyone else here have an unmedicated adhd child? Our doctor wanted us to try 1600mg of omega-3 fish oil per day for about 6 months before we tried medication. So, that's what we've been doing for 4 months. So far, we have...

momof3inTN I'm sorry you believe that way but you also do not know what my son has had to endure in way of a diagnosis. He has been evaluated by many doctors, not just his primary care doctor. After his primary doctor began to lean towards ADHD, she forwarded us on to a...

momof3inTN Thanks for the encouragement. I admit that it is hard at times, on some days I just want to run out of the house and not look back but I take a deap breath and get back to work. LOL. I just keep plugging along.

momof3inTN See that's a lot like my oldest son. When we named him Liam, there were hardly any other Liam's (except for Liam Neason, the actor, LOL) around. Now, we run into other Liam's all the time. Still haven't found another Ascher but have found an Asher and Acher....

momof3inTN That's actually really cool. I've always liked when people have gone back to get names for their kids, especially if they go back to relatives. Mind you I wouldn't use all the names. LOL Like, sorry mom, but I won't name my kids after my mother or my...

momof3inTN Thank you. I won't let her forget. After her two older brothers I needed a precious girl. LOL. Her name really fits her too, but we get odd looks ffom folks when we tell them her name. Ah well, comes with the territory.
