And just like that a new year is here and we are all full of hope for the year ahead. Many parents making resolutions to do and wishing they had better kids. Worry not because myself and Jarlath are here to help. Email us at honeyyouareruiningourkid@gmail.com with any concerns and we will get back to you with a workable plan. Question 1- Parenting as good cop vs bad cop never really works out. One parent always ends up feeling taken for granted and burned out. This week a mom gets in touch about feeling isolated from her boys. She has approached her husband and revealed how she feels out of the loop and not part of the gang. He thinks she’s imagining this. She wants help getting through this situation and through to him. Question 2- Has an Xbox arrived into your home and ruined everything. Stress not! First of all you are not alone. Secondly there is help and solutions to take the power back. This week we help a mom and dad who thought bringing an Xbox into their life would make their kids happy, instead they are grumpier and more strung out than ever before. Question 3. An embarrassed mom gets in touch with a very tricky situation. Her daughter found her naughty drawer and is eager to know why her mom needs to use a dildo. We tease out all the possible paths this mom can take making sure feeling any shame about having a naughty drawer is not one of them. Does your kid refuse to talk to you?
