		<description><![CDATA[When I took my daughter to see a children’s production of The Princess and The Pea at a local theatre, I fully expected the drama on stage. But the theatrics in the audience were like a second show, which competed with the professional performance. And frankly, annoyed the crap out of me. I understand that [...]]]></description>

We stress if our kids aren’t invited on play dates, fret when they complain of feeling excluded and downright panic when they don’t get invited to certain [...]]]></description>

We were enjoying a lovely thanksgiving celebration – great wine, food, conversation, until…. My four year old son decided to write his name in pen on our host’s leather couch.

A reader recently shared an even more intriguing play date dilemma – that of the parent who invites her child to your house. “Lately, I’ve had quite [...]]]></description>

It makes sense if you look at the greek system, wait lists for exclusive country clubs, limited edition gadgets or popular cliques among children (and moms).
