Please Don't Feed the Mom

Helping you filter through all that you want to, but don't have time to so you can not feel guilty about it. You know that feeling you get when you hear there's something new on the scene that will benefit your child and without it they'll fail life miserably and end up just like you? Never fear - you're not the first Mom to need to go on a parenting "diet." Who has time to read all the experts or blogs? Certainly not me, so don't expect a post every day, but I'll try =)

Does this explain why Mom kills them and Dad rescues them?

In our house, if you are an "8-legged" as we call them, you have 2 paths to choose from to determine the remainder of your days:

1) stay OUT of the house and you will survive to spin another web.

OR

2) enter Mom's domain and basically commit suicide. If I find you, I kill you. Even Curly knows that now - one afternoon as I dozed on the couch while he played blocks, he woke me up with a wadded up bundle of toilet paper - "See Mommy. I got the bug."

There is a 3rd option, but I don't like to share it...it involves Mr. P and only if you're lucky will he be the one to find you and put you outside. But if word gets out that you can tempt fate and risk it, I'm afraid we'll be overwhelmed by the WoodStock of 8-leggeds. That's the last thing I need - a bunch of hippy arachnids running around my house all naked and high on illegal websilk.
