Jody: Mom of 5 (teenagers on up!) and a grandmother
I am a pre-menopausal mother of five... two teenaged daughters, and three older sons, one of whom just completed his second tour in Iraq. I have literally changed thousands of diapers in my years as a mother and more recently as a grandmother. I dream... nay, I live for the day when the proverbial reversal of roles kick in and my kids have the pleasure of changing my diapers.

The thought also renewed my determination to find Aladdin’s lamp. We’ll see just how great of a step mother she can be while sitting on a lily pad at the pond.

Ugh. Stepmom. Fortunately your kids are YOURS and won’t be easily swayed. They don’t see any frosting on her at all, she’s just your garden variety twinkie to them, so hang in there.

Why would your daughter say something like that! who’s the one doing the talking you or Dickidoo? why would she be so free to talk that way? Does she know whats up in the future? Whos making plans?
