Sounds that require immediate action on your part:
The scraping sound of a kitchen chair, pushed across the kitchen floor.
The rustling sound of candy, secretively being unwrapped.
A door that is closed ever so gently.
But above all, these words: 'Mom, I'm not doing anything!'
So if you'll excuse me!
My twelve year old son Ot is working hard at school. That has not always been his way. In fact, all parent-teacher conversations went along the line: 'He just doesn't seem to care.' But he has decided he wants to become a Game Designer, and that seems to have lit a fire under him! But...
Every Monday night my husband and I like to watch Grey's Anatomy together. This medical drama premiered in 2005 and is still going strong! There's lots of drama, romance and also parenting in Grey's Anatomy. I especially like the parenting stuff because it can be quite insightful, and sometimes downright funny. Mothers have a life...
After reading prof. dr. Manfred Spitzer's book titled 'Digitale Demenz' I got a bee in my bonnet about the kids spending too much time playing computer games. I found Spitzer unpleasantly convincing when I read his sorry tale, telling me that kids' brains dumb down if they spend too much time behind a screen. I...

I was in the kitchen peeling the potatoes when suddenly I heard this loud wailing. It was my son Ot, giving a heart wrenching solo, while cradling his left arm like a beloved newborn. So I opened the kitchen window and shouted: 'What happened, what happened?!' Piet hit Ot with a stick! 'Piet hit Ot...
As a mom of five children I have had my share of birthday parties. One time I actually read the first two Harry Potter books to create an accurate Harry Potter theme birthday party. But I have to admit, lately I've felt drawn to more of a Laissez faire, laissez passer theme. I'm ashamed to...
LOL! My Little Bit is 21 months old and I already have an ear for some of these danger sounds. He even gets a certain look on his face when he has something in his mouth that he shouldn't. Somehow he was able to reach the rechargeable batteries and the tale tell look was written on his face. Thank God we have that Mommy radar huh?

I know those sounds. Unfortunately there are sounds that are harder to interpret. They are the ones that really worry me. Or the utter silence.
