15 Year Old Wants to Move in with Dad for the Coming School Year.

10 years ago, I met and married a man who lived 3 hours from my hometown. Two of my children and I moved here to be with him. My 16 year old (now 26) asked to live with his dad. He was an angry young man and it hurt terribly, but I knew that if I forced him to come live with me and give up all he knew that it would make things worse. He never was and still is not a person who likes or deals well with change. Needless to say, he made some mistakes, but has turned out to be a fine young man.

Spring Break Trip

Am I being unreasonable? My 15 year old wants to go on a Spring Break trip with a friend and her family and I am just not comfortable with it.

Oh Summer, Here We Are Again!

I am one of those moms who doesn't enjoy having the kids off all summer. Yes, I know, I'm terrible...But at least I'm honest. I have people telling me to cherish these days yadda..yadda...yadda.., but it's really hard to cherish constant complaints of boredom, whining, and fighting. The long summer days are not quality time in the least because I'm constantly having to discipline and get no enjoyment out of it whatsoever! It's also very difficult to find free or cheap activities that appeal to kids with a big age range. My oldest is 12...
