I Found The Secret To A Good Relationship With My 8-Year-Old

Lauren Davidson has a daily routine, maybe it looks a little like yours. "When my boys get off the school bus each afternoon, my 6-year-old son runs into my arms for a hug. I embrace him happily, then throw my arms open again as his 8-year-old brother approaches. He runs toward me as if to run into my arms too, then sprints off to the side with a giggle. 'Get away!' he shouts."

"To a casual observer, it may seem disrespectful," she admits. But for her, it's the secret to a good relationship with him: teasing each other is absolutely core to their dynamic. Maybe it would help in your house, too! Give it a read.

THANKS
Yes, I Do Want Your Hand-Me-Downs

"When I was pregnant with my first child, none of my other friends had kids. Being the first to have a baby was exciting, but difficult. I had so many questions. I was confused about what to put on my registry, specifically what a car seat/stroller "adapter" was, how my body would change, what labor would be like. Most of all I felt overwhelmed knowing that, as a childless 26-year-old, I didn't even know what my questions should be," writes Taylor Siering. You know what helped, oddly enough? Hand-me-downs. It's a lovely tribute!
