NORWAY: The Fine Dance of Parenting
“Then it is the point of no return, I don’t shout, I don’t grab, but I do know my voice is firmer and my embrace straighter. Does that help to convey the message? Three guesses? No, of course not. It’s worse and then I feel as if I’m on the verge of crying myself. I hate this frustration building up. That’s when parent number two needs to come in.”
NEW ZEALAND: Sometimes, I Hide in My Pantry
Projects have taken over our house. Disorganisation reigns. Yesterday, being brave, I insanely set a goal of sorting one pile of papers from beginning to end. I set the timer on the microwave. 10 minutes – concentrate and complete task. I’m not sure who I was trying to convince but the same piles of paper are still on my desk. Sigh.
NEW JERSEY, USA: The C Word
“This really blew my mind. Who wants surgery? I had such a tough time conceiving this child (IVF with genetic testing) that I was looking forward to having a somewhat normal birth.”
MASSACHUSETTS, USA: Finding Balance
My husband travels on business…A LOT. I don’t assume this is unusual nor that by reading this, you’ll feel sorry for me. It’s just the way the world seems to be going these days: as it grows smaller, so does the quality time we have to spend with family and friends.

Friday Question: How far do you live from where you were born?
This week we asked our writers… “How far do you live from where you were born?” Here are some of our writers’ responses … Maggie Ellison of South Carolina, USA writes: “I was born in the southern part of the US, but was raised in the northern part, over 800 miles...
CANADA: Bedtime Chronicles
“This particular evening was the first time everyone was well enough for us to resume regular routines. Both kids were completely recovered, and although I was feeling better myself, I was so exhausted from the adventures of the previous week that I could have wept. The kids must have picked up on this. When I’m feeling tired or sick they tend to dial-up the noise and the running around and the mess-making and the mischief to maximum levels. It’s like that thing that happens in the wild, where animals pick on the weakest member of the herd.”
NEW JERSEY, USA: Am I Scared of Bullies?
When I was in graduate school for social work, I had to examine the role that boundaries played in my life. Social workers often work with people in vulnerable circumstances. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain clear boundaries to uphold professional integrity....
CALIFORNIA, USA: Too Much Coffee?
‘”Can a mom drink too much coffee or tea in one day?
WASHINGTON, USA: Boys Will Be Boys?
“In the United States, toys, books and movies centered around play fighting are marketed to young boys at an early age. And, as the saying goes, “boys will be boys”, and I knew my son might love play fighting or be friends with others who owned full toy arsenals. I assumed we’d have to deal with it someday; I just wasn’t sure in what form.”

Friday Question: What one item can you not live without?
Today’s Friday Question marks our 100th post on World Moms Blog! This week’s question came from one of our writers – Kally Mocho. She asked, “As a mom, what one item can you not live without?” Here are some indispensable items some of our moms cannot do without… Eva...
NYC: Too Close for Comfort
“As any Manhattan dweller will tell you, living in the Big Apple can’t be beat. Culture, parks, restaurants, and all sorts of excitement are all right in our backyard. (Well, we don’t actually have backyards, but I digress). The one big drawback? The size of the living space!”
MASSACHUSETTS, USA: Woman, When Perfected, is the Best of Animals…
“During our first week of work, we took one of those professional personality tests. The test categorizes your personality in one of four categories: a panther, owl, dolphin or peacock…Twenty-one of my co-workers personalities either fell into the panther or owl category. One of my co-worker’s personality was that of a peacock, and then there was me.”
EAST TIMOR: Coping with Crocs and Other Hazards
It’s a lovely story, but I have no desire to come face to face with one of these sharp-toothed beasts myself. In my trusty (though very slender) Timor guide book, the crocodile entry mostly dismisses this risk, advising travelers to take croc sightings with a grain of salt: “for all the talk about crocs, not many Timorese have seen them.”
SOUTH CAROLINA, USA: Would you be my Valentine?
Unfortunately for him, I am much more based in my emotions, so he knew it would hurt me if he boycotted this day. It is not about the price tag, but the sentiment. We found a way to make us both happy and my favorite gifts have been hand-picked flowers, a card made by the kids and a poem written for me.
