Yay! I finally did it! I finally got a “Yummy. That was Deeee-licious, Mommy!” in reference to a dinner I cooked. This was overly exciting for me since:
1. I’m not a cook (although I have mastered hot dogs on the grill)
2. I haven’t had to cook dinner in 2+ years (yay to hubby working from [...]
“I did it.”
“What?” I asked my husband who called me while I was out.
“I spanked him.”
“Oh.” I wasn’t sure how to respond.
See, I’m not morally opposed to spanking and Boog has certainly almost pushed me to the spanking point more than once so I understood how DH could go there. My issue with spanking (assuming [...]
Even though I’m an “experienced” parent, I find myself constantly learning new things that make my life as a parent, easier.
