New Book 'Cinderella Ate My Daughter' Looks at Effect of Girly-Girl Culture {ParentDish}

Jan 26th 2011 3:37PM Oh please. My girls practically grew up at Disney World. They had Barbies and princess outfits. We have every Disney princess video. It's called PRETEND. They knew all along that they could do whatever they wanted and now, in their mid-twenties, they are doing just that.

For heaven's sake; let your little girl be a little girl. She has to face the real world soon enough. Don't take "pretend" away from her too.

You're right, you continue parenting their whole lives. So, parent to keep them grounded, but them them pretend too.

Decor That Says Something {Shelterpop}

Nov 7th 2010 2:31PM Another great company is Wall Words. I ordered sayings for my three kids for their rooms and they look terrific. They have standard quotes, or you can custom order. They are a bit pricey, but I thought it was worth it.

I Gave My Baby the Wrong Name! {ParentDish}

Jun 7th 2010 1:33PM Of course "tia" can be pronounced "sha". I'm just saying that the correct pronunciation of the name is Kah ti ah. If she chooses to pronounce it another way, that's her choice, but it isn't the people pronouncing it who are incorrect; she has used an incorrect pronunciation of the name spelled the way it is spelled.

My name is Jan. If I choose to pronounce it "Jawn", that is my prerogative, but people who pronounced it "Jan" would not be incorrect. They just aren't aware that I have chosen to pronounce my name incorrectly.

Her parents didn't make up the name, Katia. That is a common name that has a common pronunciation.

I Gave My Baby the Wrong Name! {ParentDish}

Jun 6th 2010 7:38PM Katia, others don't mispronounce your name; you do. Katia is pronounced KAH TEE AH. If you choose to mispronounce it as K-SHA, I guess that is your prerogative, but you shouldn't consider that you are "correcting" their pronunciation. You are explaining that you pronounce it differently from everyone else in the know world.

12 Unusual Pet Accessories {Shopping Articles Blog}

Jun 6th 2010 12:12PM I wish people who write for a living would get their facts straight. Or that their editors would actually do their job. The doggie "wine" is $180.00 per case of 12; not per bottle. And it is basically chicken broth.
