My sister passed away a few months back and because my nephew has never meet his real father, he wanted to stay with me. It wasn't hard to say, yes. He is blood and I love the kid. I am in search of every piece of information I can find on the web about parenting because I want to be the best uncle a kid can have so, thank you for the blog post and now I must move on to the next one.

I use words like 'asshat' far too frequently. It seems though when you're a mom, that there are those who consider everything else that you do outside of mothering to be an amusing hobby and the only true activity, the one that defines you is mommy. People frequently assume that I write children's books for this same reason, not so much, not so much at all....

I was probably around 7 or 8. I can still remember the sensation of it hitting my bloodstream. It worked, and to this day I can't stand the taste of whiskey. It's unfair that Moms who blog are automatically labeled "mommybloggers." Not that there's anything wrong with mommybloggers, but like you say, if your writing isn't limited to kids and parenting, you shouldn't be thrown in with the mommy/daddybloggers. I'm a humor blogger, I guess, which doesn't have as nice a ring as "mommyblogger." My mom gave me whiskey to shut me up when I had a persistent cough. I was probably around 7 or 8.
