Sometimes people see my family and me onstage and think, “They must always be like that” [playful, having fun, singing and dancing together, not fighting].  Umm..no.  We're a regular family: I say hurtful things to Kathleen sometimes, she disrespects me sometimes [or at least I feel disrespected], the kids act up - you know what I mean...

But we do have great times together!
- We get in tickle-fights on the floor in the living room
- We play sports together in the cul-de-sac
- We do "character voices" and impersonations

How about you?  What are some of the things you and your kids will remember from your child-raising years?  Join the conversation! [click below to add your comment]

Hi mommies!

My daughters [Juli - age 13, and Natalie - age 6] like some secular TV shows and music.  Not a lot, but some.  They like Disney Channel's "Phineas and Ferb," and a few others.  They like a few Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez songs.  They are big "I Love Lucy" fans [they got that from their mommy - ha ha].

What about you?  Do you let your kiddos listen and watch TV and download secular pop music? (all points of view are welcome here - I'm just askin' - not judgin')

If so, what are their favorite shows and musical artists?
