Papa's Coat

Hi! My name is Christian! My mommy is Dawn, and she's a writer for Mommage. She isn't feeling too good this week because I gave her my cold. (I'm sorry Mommy!) So, I asked if I could write another posting. She said it was okay. She's awesome!

Baby's First Sleepover

This past Sunday, my seven-month-old son had his first sleepover at Grandma and Grandpa's house. They were insistent that it was time, and we agreed we could use the break. All week I looked forward to having the night to myself. I thought of the myriad of options I had to spend the night: reading, sleeping in, playing on Planetfeedback.

The Case of the Undermining Grandma

A friend of mine has a problem with her in-laws.  Specifically, with her in-laws and their dealings with her children.  Having been blessed with understanding and respectful in-laws, and not having been blessed with children, I am totally at a loss as to what to say to her, what course of action to advise.  I've been thinking about this for a while, and I'm still at a loss.  I'll just tell the story, and hopefully the answer will come to me (or maybe a member of the Mommage community will help me out...hint, hint).
