Because I Said So

Popular blogger and author of Because I Said So (and other tales from a less-than-perfect parent), Dawn Meehan, tries to understand kids by putting herself in their shoes. She melts down in an elevator, throws a tantrum in the middle of the grocery store, and goes around revolving doors multiple times while bystanders look at her like she's insane. Hilarious!

I love you, Dawn. And your kids. And I'm not creepy. I promise. ;) lol Seriously, the part that I REALLY love is how down to Earth you are and how you know how to have fun with your kids (and AT your kids). I know you've been through the wringer and I think you're totally AWESOME, just because you're you. :)

Very funny, made me laugh (which I needed!)...I have to say I tried the wipe my butt thing once, and my 3 year old (who told me that was gross and no one would ever do it) the next day decided he could actually try to wipe his own butt himself....Since then it's been hit or miss...but hey it was worth a shot :)

Dawn,

I hope I win a book - so I can take it around and tell others about you and your books!

I'll send an ad for your blog later this summer. I finally got an idea for what to do with the opportunity.

Love and prayers from this bundle of 6 + mom to you and your 6pack + GPS!

Wow, all of this sure does look familiar!!! Best of luck in FL!! That's my hometown. Hope you love it and make many wonderful memories and new beginnings there!

I love your video! I was at the grocery store last week with my 7 year old grand-daughter (whom I always get silly with anyway) and began acting up, because I saw Dawn do it. When I threatened to yell and hollor because I wanted something....I got an eye roll and a "munnern, just stop it" (Not sure where my first grand-daughter came up with my name munnern, but it's an original). Love you!

I have read your blog since the Pokemon incident. I really hope moving the kids will help them settle in to their new life with a single parent. Not sure how you're going to manage without Eric, but maybe there will be someone else to fill his shoes. Best of luck. Margaret Dunlap mdunlap@hotmail.com
