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! |

Autumn Leaf Crafts
Autumn leaves are wonderful!
Nature has given us beautiful colors to work with, no
painting necessary! I also find the green leaves of
ivy, herbs and other plants are beautiful
as well.
Collect nice whole leaves and press them between two
clean sheets of paper in a large book like a phone
book or dictionary. After 2-4 weeks they will be dried
and flat. Here are some things you can do with them:

What's Cooking ? |
|
It's
Apple time.
Grab the kids and go out and pick your own
apples--or head down to the farmer's market for
some yummy apples. We like Pink Lady Apples here
at
ParentingHumor!
Now....wash those boogers up and make some
scrumptious caramel apples!
1 1/2 tbsp. butter
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
6 tbsp. water
Popsicle sticks
8 to 10 apples (Pink Lady's work well)
Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the brown sugar
and water. Stir until it has a smooth consistency.
Gently bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for
3-4 minutes, until the pan's sides get steamy and
the mixture is thin but fairly sticky. Remove from
heat. Pierce the center of each apple with a
Popsicle stick, then swirl in the caramel syrup
until coated. Place apples on a greased cookie or
wax paper sheet to harden. Refrigerate for at
least 1 hour.

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

My
Toy Shelf
When I woke up this morning and looked at my toy shelf, my
teddy bear was knocked down, and he was all by himself!
I know I picked up my toys - like I do every night, but most of
them were missing. Something just wasn't right.
Mom Is Not a Mantra
I recently bought one of those self-help books that promise
to infuse-your-life-with-indescribable-joy-and-abundant-riches.
(I know: Its hard to believe I would interrupt the days of my
life for this kind of wholesome reading matter.)
His
and Hers Breakfast
My morning -
1 - Alarm goes off at 07.20, listen to BBC Radio 4 until sports
news, then crawl out of bed
2 - On the way to the bathroom check Hannah is awake, and
venture a few inches into Ben's room to give him his first wake
up call, taking care not to tread on anything sharp or disturb
any of his string and cello tape booby traps
3 - On my way out of the bathroom I give Ben his second wake up
call and check Hannah is getting dressed.
