As a child, I too encountered the dreaded “Because I Said So.” It was usually yelled in frustration or hissed between clenched teeth. No matter what the method of delivery, it signified the end of the discussion. I remember wondering, what exactly does that mean and why is that a remotely valid argument? It was a parental trap; there was no way to fight it, and yet I felt unsatisfied in conceding.

Now, at 30 something I finally know what it means. It means the adult is losing the battle with a child. Yep, “Because I Said So” is the phrase used when you are being outsmarted or out-debated by an 8 year old. The truth is, sometimes their reasoning makes sense… a lot of sense. Sometimes, I listen and say, “okay, let’s do it your way.” Usually, I’ve made my point and I have to stick by it to be consistent. And the rest of the time, I’m just another stubborn adult standing on ceremony. If I had only known as a child what I know now. My self esteem would have had a real boost. I guess that’s part of parenting; pretending you know what you’re doing and using incongruous phrases when all else fails.

Wow, is the baby really here? Is this baby mine?
I can’t believe it!!! While you waited nine long months for your baby to be born, you never really thought about how your life would be completely different. Even though all your friends told you how tired you would be, you never gave it much thought. When your friends told you that you would never have a minute to yourself, you thought, “I can’t wait to be a mother, who needs free time and if I want to go out, I will just take the baby with me.” Like anything else in life, until the actual moment comes you take everything with a grain of salt.

So, you haven’t taken a shower in two days, your shirt has spit-up on it, grandma had to go home, and make-up, what’s that? You’ve never been so tired in your life, but when your baby looks up and smiles your heart just melts. Here are some survival tips to make your transition to “real time mom” a little more manageable.

1. Please tell us a little bit about your business/site?

Parentville.com is owned and operated by ParentWeb Media, Inc. The site is a recommendation network allowing parents to find, share and ask for recommendations on the best products and services, caregivers, pediatricians, articles and websites – and anything related to the “parenting experience”. Our mission is to simplify and enhance the parenting experience, empowering busy parents (of kids ages 0-12) to get trusted information and find items fast.

Parents themselves are the best filters of information and give credible recommendations based on their experiences. They can utilize the Parentville network by sharing their own recommendations with their trusted networks on the site or by asking for a specific recommendation. Unlike the leading social networks, blogs, and message boards, Parentville archives and categorizes each and every recommendation so that other parents can easily find and benefit from the collective experiences of the community.
