Being a Parent Aint Easy!!!!
Why do teachers and administrators at my kids' schools make me feel like I am a bad parent? Why does the teacher call me upset as if I am the one with no pencil or paper? Does this teacher know that I am doing my best and it is only me taking care of 3 others? Why does my child not like me even though I am the only parent taking care of them, washing his clothes, cleaning their room, supporting them even when he is wrong? Why won't my children respect me and do as I say? If you have these type of conversations or know someone who does take some time to tell them they are not alone. I am a single mom with 3 kids and I often feel like I am doing a bad job. My kids play jokes on me, they don't clean up after themselves, they always want me to give them things they see on TV, and I work 2 jobs day and night. I sometimes stay at work just so I can have a break from them. I need advice on what I need to do but I don't know how to ask. I am very emotional and often get frustrated at home so I spend a lot of time in my room. I talk to my kids about my problems because they listen to me. I compare them to the good one all the time and they begin to get even madder. What am I doing wrong? Does anyone else feel this way? Am I a bad mom? I know I can do better but I don't have time to get everything done in one day? What I would like to know is, do you sound like me? Do you make some of these mistakes? If you do then we need to talk. I would love to have dinner with you so I can learn what I need to do so I don't feel this way. If I get some help then I can help my kids when they have problems. Don't judge me but help me!

Thanks for your time

All boys need help with communication, commitment, healthy choices, and finding their passion. Here at Piney Grove, we strive to teach each student how to survive and grow in this ever changing world. Boys can be successful in life if given the right opportunity to grow. By choosing a school like Piney Grove your son will have the opportunity to grow and be lead to a better man. Moms and Dads here is your chance to help your son in life and have him on a path to righteousness and longevity through the exposure and opportunities provided through Piney Grove Boys Academy

Topic of the Month

Changing a Boy's Mindset

Wondering where all the men went made me look at why our boys are so confused, lost, and angry. As I read books and listen to a specialist about how boys behave differently than girls I realize that the most important times in a child's life is between the ages of birth to 7. During that time is when we expose our kids to the worst things because we think they don't understand. Ever wonder why babies don't want to play with toys but instead want your cellphone or car keys. Kids watch and listen very carefully to adults and we do a lot of good or a lot of damage early in a child's life. We have to be very careful to what we expose our children to even if they are 6 months old. The problem with our youth today is our kids today have been exposed to adult problems really early in life. Back in the old days, we hide the fact that our lights were off or we were behind on rent and we did what we had to to do to get the lights on right away. But today we talk about our problems with or to our kids and vent bad feelings about people we feel caused this problem. As parents, we have to do better. Be careful about what you are saying to your children especially our boys. Often our we will say you remind me of your dad in a bad way and think it is going to have a positive impact on that child. Or we say something negative to the boy who is trying to be a man with no directions in hopes he will get his life together. I am telling you that mindset has to change. We have to speak positivity, pray for forgiveness, and practice positive actions in front and to our boys if we want them to become men. We have to build a better man and a better brand. If we want more men like Obama, we have to speak Obama like actions into existence. We have to go to our boys spelling bees and awards assemblies so they will know to support their sons when they get older. We can't assume they will figure it out. How often do you take your son to work to show him how to deal with other adults without using his fist. Don't wait until your son is 18 start now taking your children to the bank, to the grocery store, to the laundry mat and more. You have to start putting them in position to win so they become the man you know they can be. Exposure and Opportunity will take a boy and make him a man.
