ParentingHumor
is dedicated to the lighter side of parenting. We all know
that being a parent is NOT an easy gig. There are plenty of
info sites, teachers, books, magazines and TV shows bursting to tell you
what you're doing wrong. Geeeeesh! |
|
But
here....it's ok
to let down your guard a laugh a little (or alot). We'd love
for you to share your funny stories too. We don't expect you
to be a professional writer--just a parent wanting to reach
out and make a peer smile. |

We're
proud to be the
Unofficial Guide to Parental Laughter! We're all
parents too! Even grandparents! We are in the trenches with
you. And when we stumble to our desks with spit up on our
shirts and a coffee mug clenched in our grubby hand we don't
wanna hear tips on how to have perfectly disciplined kids
(it's just NOT gonna happen), or how to make pancakes shaped
like zoo animals (how about using a cookie cutter on a
PopTart? Will that do?)...... We just wanna survive!
“Laughter is essential to
child
development in any stage.”

Water Balloon Volley
Each team will need a bed sheet and good supply of
filled water balloons. Everyone on the team holds a
corner or side of the sheet. Place a water balloon
on the sheet. Using lots of teamwork, bounce the
balloon on the sheet until you can flip it over the
net. The other team must catch it in their sheet and
flip it back.
For smaller groups or children, use a smaller sheet
or a tablecloth. You can also use a ping-pong ball.

Mixed Nuts
Society demands too much political correctness.
For instance, spoiled brats are now termed "oppositionally
defiant" and psychopaths are now referred to as
"emotionally challenged". Soaring divorce rates
have also spawned an emergence of families that
are remarried with children. Known best by the
term "stepfamilies", the new politically correct
term appears to be "blended families", a change
which has created a little confusion.
Who was the genius behind the term change
anyway? No doubt it was a disgruntled stepmother
who was tired of the Cinderella story. I looked
up the term "blend" in the dictionary and,
according to Webster, it means "a harmonious
mix". Well, that certainly is a nice concept,
but most stepfamily members consider their homes
to reflect anything but a harmonious mix most of
the time.

Parent's Want to Work at Home |

How Can I work at home?
"I hear about a lot of parents staying home with
their kids instead of working. How are they
doing this? Can you really earn CASH? My sister
said she met a lady that makes money just
surfing the internet? NO way!" -Beth S., Kansas
City, MO
Survey
Says: We sent this question out to our
subscribers - and they came up with the
following list....
Fusion Cash - Simple data entry, filling in
forms for offers.
Project PayDay - Earn cash from home!
Hits4Pay - See proof of earnings. One mom's
experience.
Although we can't make any endorsements or
guarantees on these programs - they do seem to
offer a way to earn cash by just surfing the
internet or reading emails. One reader states:
 "I
make money from home by finding all kinds of
different sites that pay cash to ordinary people
like me. The trick is finding the sites, and
then signing up and following through! There
ain't no shame in making money this way!" -
Joyce M., Radcliff, KY

every topic!
This is a legitimate, paying website!

Dept.
Store Hijinks
Over the holiday season we
took the kids shopping at the mall near our home town to
get some ideas from them for Christmas. So we walk into
one of the local department stores and go our separate
ways for a few minutes to look around. As I am making my
way back I see my son, Alex, at a display table really
engrossed in something. He sees me and waives me over.
Melissa is coming in the opposite direction and he
waives her over, too.
Bus Missed
First of all let me tell you, I am so grateful for my seven
children and their sometimes idiotic behavior. Yes, their
behavior coupled with mine makes this blog possible on a weekly,
sometimes daily, basis.
The
Catcher
Years ago I had the privilege of being able to coach one of
the Picayune Baseball All-Star teams. We were playing in the
state tournament and I had a kid on my team that we realized was
a really good catcher so I decided to let him catch this one
game but he didn't have a jock strap or a cup. I had a brand new
one in a box just for emergencies so I gave it to him. Before he
left for the bathroom I asked him if he new how to put it on. He
just looked at me like I had lost my mind and he said Well yea
coach, duh.
On Hee-Hee-Hoooos and Sleep Deprivation or a Rant of a
Sleep-Deprived Mother
"Just don't forget to breathe," my midwife joked during one
of my routine prenatal care visits. At that time, I was signing
myself and my husband up for various childbirth preparation
classes left and right, trying to absorb as much information as
I could before the all-important ARRIVAL.
"These classes aren't very useful, if you want my opinion," she
said, omnipotent and all-knowing.
But what about the breathing exercises? I said.
