About this Blog

Momfidence! cheers on commonsense parenting and sighs at the rest. How to worry less, wing it more. A.k.a. parenting by the seat of my mid-rise mom jeans.

About Paula Spencer

I'm the author of Momfidence! An Oreo Never Killed Anybody and Other Secrets of Happier Parenting, and a mom of four in Chapel Hill, North Carolina (where you cannot even buy Oreos at the two groceries nearest to my home).

This Week's Lighten-Up-and-Eat-a-Cookie Award

July 16, 2008
A big chocolate Lighten-Up-and-Eat-a-Cookie Award to the mad mums at a public park in England who tried to stop a dad from photographing his own (adorable redheaded) sons because they believed him to be a "pervert" who wanted to put the pix on the Internet.

(Yes, they called him that.) (The boys were sliding down a slide. Yes, fully clothed.)

The policeman the shocked fellow consulted confirmed he was doing nothing wrong (taking pix of his own kids) and said "that's just the way society is these days."

How ridiculous! This is hyperparenting, at best. As per usual, I'm disgusted by the moms who insisted that he stop.
