: About Me

I am 28 and a single mommy of an 8yr old little boy. He is my world.

I am also an aspiring writer and besides my son, it is my deepest passion. I am currently in the process of writing a book of poetry and inspiration, hopefully to be complete and ready for production by the end of this year.

I started writing at the age of 12 and have never had any formal training, but words seem to just flow from me, I guess because I love writing.

I grew up in a large family and writing was my outlet. It provided me with the comfortability of my own space and to do and say as I please in my own little world. This is the same feeling I get from writing my own book.

I want to write in any way I can, especially if my words can help someone else in any way. I am happy to have found this site. I feel as if I am helping others by sharing experience and giving advice.

Parenting & Pregnancy > Child Behavior & Discipline (Other) If children behave badly, who's to blame: Parents or child?

I would say that both are at fault to tell you the truth. If you really want to get technical about it. The ultimate burden is on the parent to do everything they can to ensure their child knows right form wrong. I'm sure there are a lot of parents that take disciplining their child very seriously. You know that when they grow up, you want them to be nice, respectable people and so you try your best, hopefully. There is such a thing called outside influence. You can do all you can at home and you would like to believe that when they are out of your sight, that they will continue to behave ...
