Perhaps the one thing we all agree on is that you should keep your judgement of other parents to yourself. Luckily, I have a blog (and possibly a secret Facebook group) where I can air my grievances. So here goes. Last Friday, I took my almost four year old to the Chicago Bulls Family Fun …
A Room Full of Terrible Men
I don't know how to start this post. Do I just tell it straight, anecdotally, as it occurred? Do I begin with something more obscure? Do I come out swinging? I guess first I'll say this: I am tired of being afraid and I am tired of having to forgive. If there is one true …
