WTF – Britney Voted Best Celebrity Mom?

They have to be kidding. Apparently Brittney Spears has been voted overwhelmingly as the best celebrity mom. She beat out Angelina, Katie Holmes and Jennifer Garner who I consider pretty decent moms from what I’ve seen through the media. If nothing else, the 9 other moms on the list provided by Park Christmas Savings poll have not been arrested. They haven’t used their children for blatant media attention. They haven’t dropped their children or driven off with them in their laps.  And they certianly weren’t so terrible a mother that they actually lost custody and some visitation rights with their children due to drug habits and erratic behavior.  Does Britney even have access to her children? Why was she even on the list? The whole thing is a big fat WTF as far as I’m concerned.

Potty Training Little Brothers

Why is it so much easier (so far) to potty train the little brother? The first boy took forever to seem ready and the second was ready much sooner than I was. Of course, I know why it’s easier. B has been watching his Big Brother use the potty almost his whole life. It’s only natural that he wants to play along. So now my 27-month-old boy is well on his way to potty training. Personally, I think the biggest reason is that his teachers at school give him chocolate. And if he’s anything like his Mama, chocolate is the ultimate prize.
