How To Get Your Kid, Mother In Law, Or Spouse Off Your Back
My father was a great schmoozer. Everyone loved to sit around and talk to him. The problem was, however, that he was a cook in a teenage boy’s school and the guys would leave class to talk to my dad. My father didn’t really mind (as much as people loved to talk to him, he loved to talk to people) but he felt that it wasn’t good for them or him that they spent so much time in the kitchen. Firstly, he believed that the proper place for the boys attending school was the classroom and NOT the kitchen.

You beg your mother in law not to criticize your cooking and embarrass you at the upcoming family gathering (even though “they’re all family”) and it’s as if you talked to a wall; you hear her saying how it’s too salty, too sweet, or undercooked. (Interesting, not one crumb was left over and your dear mother in law took doubles!)?

This is so annoying and frustrating!!
Well, I heard a great technique (trick?) Read more
Anorexia: 9 Symptoms Of A Warped Body Image

It is our jobs as parents to spot the symptoms of anorexia as soon as possible in order to seek out proper medical help before it is too late. The more time that we procrastinate the harder it is to cure
There are two general types of indicators of anorexia: bizarre eating habits and a warped sense of their body image.
Some common examples of bizarre eating habits that are indicative of anorexia are chewing food and then spitting it out, gorging and then purging, or only eating low fat food. In this article you I will list 9 symptoms of warped sense of their body that strongly suggest anorexia.

2. They constantly compare their figures to other people’s figures, especially to pictures of models in magazines.
3. They are obsessed with looking at glamour magazines.
4. Even when they are “all skin and bones” they mention that they are fat.
5. They constantly talk about weight and being thin. The subject of weight and body figure engulfs their whole being.
6. They excersice/workout madly.
7. Their skin becomes dry and yellow.
8. They are constantly cold.
9. They wear baggy clothing or several layers of clothing (even in the heat) to cover up their bodies.
