: About Me

I am, first and foremost, an artist. In addition, I've become somewhat of a relationship expert due to my previous employment as the CEO of Getothersafe.com, a now defunct dating site.

I'm also the author of a 250 page book on deciphering the female language. It's called, "The Male Dilemma - A Woman's Secret Language Exposed."

Over the years, I've assisted the educational system, because I saw many things I didn't feel comfortable with, and I wanted to help change some of those things. Mainly, I didn't want to see kids suffer. Currently, I homeschool one of my children, and I'm testing an educational theory regarding adhd kids. So far, my theory works. ;)

For fun, I enjoy making flash presentations, creating paintings, and working on websites. I also love pair ice skating, and I've won several medals for my participation in the field. I also have a love for horses and a respect for animals as a whole.

Last, but not least, I'm a dystonia and copd patient. So, I guess you could say that I have first hand knowledge in many different areas of life. The question is: "Is that a blessing or a curse?" Hmm...I wonder.

Parenting & Pregnancy > Grandparenting Why grandparents should not interfere with parenting their grandchildren

23 of 26

To Parent or Grandparent, that is the question! Is it better to be a grandparent or to act as if our own flesh and blood has no clue, while we attempt to run the show? I'm sure many grandparents have been forced to ask themselves that very same question. I'm equally sure many of us, as 'grandparents', have had to ponder whether we should speak up or forever hold our piece...or should I say, 'peace'? Personally, I've found myself wincing, more than once, as my children proudly informed me of their latest episode of 'attempting' to parent. I can't tell you how many times I just wanted to scr...
