Last week, as usual, I posted links to a few of my favourite Mom bloggers. Unfortunately, one of the highlighted bloggers received some personally hurtful comments on her blog as a result. So, I asked my own readers for some suggestions for some "thick skinned" Mom Bloggers. And I found a few beauties, although, please feel free to go over there and say all kinds of nice things - I'm sure they'll appreciate that a lot more.

At Dear Leonard, Feith is parenting teens. I find that there's a shortage of Mom blogs pertaining to teens, so if you know of any, let me know. I want to know what I'm in for, and also whether I might be as graceful as Feith in dealing with the problem of teenage drug use.

Over at My Munchkin Musings, Stephanie muses about the connection of her daughter's tantrums and teething. I've just begun to see flickers of meltdowns in Nolan, so I read about Ellie with interest. Every stage has a cuteness and a downside, doesn't it?

And finally, at Where is My Dinner (also: please tell me when you find it, I would like mine too) Vasilisa wonders how to tell a toddler that not everybody likes to be engulfed in random hugs at the playground. Except Mommies. Mommies always like hugs.
