Parenting Perspectives: Why is a parent’s best never quite good enough?
It looked like a mosquito bite on my daughter’s left thigh. She wanted me to put a Band-Aid on it, so I did. Five weeks and a trip to the walk-in clinic later, and 3-year-old Eve still has a red, bumpy, nickel-sized rash on her leg.

Parenting Perspectives: A little advice for new graduates
I love this time of year on Facebook.
In addition to the run-of-the-mill chatter and YouTube clips – my favorite of which, lately, features two Lawrence Welk cast members singing “One Toke Over the Line” – I’ve received a handful of invitations from fresh-faced, soon-to-be-high school graduates asking me, and presumably hundreds of others, to their graduation parties.

Parenting Perspectives: Less to sweat in second pregnancy
As I progress through my second pregnancy, more than three years removed from my first, I’m struck by the differences between the two.
I’m carrying lower.
My stomach grew bigger much sooner.
I’ve felt a lot sicker.

Parenting Perspectives: Cleaning makes men out of boys
It’s the unexpected actions that seem to mean the most when you’re a parent, isn’t it?
The moments when your kids shock you because they didn’t fight, or they did what you asked, or when they spend an entire day with you doing spring cleaning … and they do so with minimal drama.

The likelihood of my having more grandchildren is iffy at this point in time. But I do have a new grandpuppy, and he’s the cutest thing on four legs.

It’s hard not to like a guy who has passion – a guy with the guts to fill a school bus with 57 tons of sand just to make a point.The man is British chef Jamie Oliver and the point, in the second season premiere of “Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution,” was to show parents in Los Angeles just how much sugar their kids consume every week at school.

Parenting Perspectives: Love for pro wrestling spans generations
The man marveled at the thought of my 74-year-old mother standing in line with us waiting to get her photo taken with all-star wrestler Kurt Angle.
“That’s a-w-e-some!” he said, mouth agape. “You know, my grandma brought me to my first wrestling match, too.”

Parenting Perspectives: Mom shares secret, and fears
This isn’t the column I intended to write for today. In fact, I wrote an entirely different piece two weeks ago to announce that I’m pregnant. Baby No. 2 is due in August.Then I got a phone call – the kind of call no expecting woman ever wants to receive.

Parenting Perspectives: Living life in the depths of the laundry pit
I’ve been dreaming of the good old days lately.
True, the modern-day parent has been afforded many luxuries, but who has the better deal when it comes to laundry: Today’s mother or Ma Ingalls?

Parenting Perspectives: Grandmother going girl-crazy
My older grandson, with his early-Zac Efron-like haircut, is a good-looking kid. And I don’t think that’s just the opinion of a prejudiced grandmother.
