A Mob-Dad Offers Parenting Advice


Amazon sells Big Daddy's Rules-check it out!
Some guys will say they don’t read because it's boring. But, I’d like to find a man who isn’t the least bit intrigued by Big Daddy’s Rules.

Unlike that parenting book written by some professional, or specialist, with a list of degrees a mile long, which ultimately gives them the right to tell you how to raise your kids, this is straight out of the mouth of a dad. One who doesn’t pull any punches (well, unless you get fresh with his daughter I bet). He tells it like it is and isn’t afraid to make rules at home and lay down the law.

Steve’s book is about how he does parenting his way, and why it works. Think you're a pushover this month?  Read this and next month you'll be a 'Big Daddy' in control.

A little rough sometimes, but so is he, Schirripa takes fathering to a new (but old fashioned) level. One I think I'm quite familiar with from my own father.

I’m not much for pushing books written  by celebrities (Schirripa was Bobby on the HBO series The Sopranos and  the father on The Secret Life of the American Teenager) but this is written by a big Italian guy who says no to his kids and who uses the words 'common sense and parenting' in the same sentence. I can’t help but support him.

His book is called “Raising Daughters is Tougher Than I Look’”.

And, he makes me look like a pussy cat.

When you’re afraid to be the boss at home, it will hinder the lessons your kids should be learning. So, buck up, grab this book and get ready for some light reading (with maybe a hint of heavy language).
My favorite rule in the book?
'The first rule is, I make the rules. I’m your father, not your friend. But I’m the best friend you’re ever going to have because nobody is going to care about you the way I care about you.' - Steve Schirripa

Back to School Anxiety: Bullying

Image
Download “School Boy Being Stressed” by David Castillo Dominici via freedigitalphotos.net I recently wrote about how to help your child if they’re struggling with going back to school because they were bullied. My biggest most important tip was to listen, because I honestly could not write a ‘How-to-make-them-not-afraid’ column. Frankly I thought that was absurd. Fear is sometimes real. Anxiety is sometimes truly there, and for a good reason. Our job as parents isn’t to try to make it go away, it’s to try to find out the true source of those worrisome feelings. If you’d like to read more, click here. And if you’re child is struggling to find excitement about the new school year, don’t deny it, just accept it and move forward gently.

Would You Rather?

Image
My kids like to play a game called ‘Would You Rather?’. I’ve always liked getting in on the fun because they usually freak out when it’s my turn to ask, ‘Would you rather?’. I will ask, ‘Would you rather…have to go to school for 365 days a year, or go without television forever?’  Or when I say, ‘Would you rather eat broccoli at every meal, or spinach?’. It’s fun to watch them squirm. Now here is one for parent’s. School shopping is finally coming to a halt (thank goodness) and there are a few items on the market that I want you to see (if you haven’t already gasped at them yourself). They are: JCPenney’s (recently controversial) Shirt for Girls: JCPenney And the 'Eye Candy' (yes, it says Eye Candy on it-actually ALL over it) notebook that I hear no one talking about and which is selling at Walmart: So, hear it goes…. Mom, Dad, Grandma, Antie….etc….. 'Would you rather ' have your teen (or younger) daughter wear the ‘too pretty for math’ shirt?        O

Good Customer Service At Home

Image
Over the years, my careers have mainly been customer service based. I started in a family business and then moved on up through the rungs from waitress, to hostess, to sales associate, manager and eventually the GM of a hotel. In all my years, my training taught me that you should always do your best to take your customer all the way to what they need, make them happy, and never leave them until they are done with you. I pride myself on my customer service abilities. Though the other day, I think I failed at customer service in my own home! I was getting ready to cut my daughter's hair and because of how long it had gotten (she's been growing it out for a year!) I felt this time it would be best  if instead of me spritzing it with water, she could wash and condition it real quick. She was fully clothed so I just suggested she run into the bathroom and wash her hair in the tub. She’s fourteen. I suppose I just assumed that she knew how to kneel over the tub and do it.
