Don't Blame the Girls
"Don't wear revealing clothes." "Don't go anywhere alone, especially at night." "Watch your drinks." "Don't flirt with guys—it gives them the wrong impression." "If you are walking to your car alone, carry your keys in your hands to defend yourself." "Lock your doors."

Say What?
Kids are funny, aren't they? They have no shame in what they talk about, and it makes me think that maybe we should all start to live that way. I've been working in childcare for three years now, and I've overheard some pretty hilarious conversations. I thought I'd share some of these priceless encounters!

Feisty and Constant
This is about a woman. A woman we can relate to. Maybe she is a friend, a family member, a dream, or even you. But this is her.

Kittens: Cuddly Baby Cats, or Merciless Death Machines?
I don't recall at any point in my life owning a kitten. I always regarded them as adorable little balls of fluff, that would occasionally paw at you with a wannabe ferocious paw, or meow at you when they were hungry. I figured, like adult cats, they'd be a little lazy, perhaps stretch out with a yawn and sleep in the sun every chance they got, and eat anything meaty. Boy, was I wrong!

Guilt-Free Distance: Creating Boundaries with Family
Many of my friends in the queer community or those of us who were repeatedly abused by a parent know that there is no how-to manual for making peace with these challenging family relationships. Even years after we have left a situation, it has been my experience and observation that many people who come from these backgrounds feel that they are operating at a loss. I’m here to offer a point of view recently given to me that has been extremely freeing: careful boundary work.

Parenting Problems
Walk into any public venue or walk down any public street and you will find any number of people who have an opinion on how you should parent your child. Read a magazine or go online and you will find a ton of people voicing their opinions on how to raise your child. Co-sleeping vs crib sleeping, breast feeding vs bottle feeding, time outs vs taking things away. As a parent these things can be helpful but also aggravating and very confusing. We all want to be the best parent we can be and we all want to do everything completely right by our children and it can be hard to figure out what the right thing to do is.
