Moms, dads, grandparents and the diverse families who make up our community will have a new resource for questions about local neighborhood schools, the best pediatricians, 24-hour pharmacies and the thousands of other issues that arise while raising children.
Moms Talk will also be the place to drop in for a talk about the latest parenting hot topic. Do you know of local moms raising their children in the Tiger Mother's way and is it the best way? Where can we get information on local flu shot clinics for children? How do we talk to our children about the Tucson shootings? How can we help our children's schools weather their budget cutbacks?

So grab a cup of coffee and settle in as we start the conversation today with a question from Canton-Sixes Patch Moms Council member Jenny Howard.
We are all guilty of it. Before ever having children, we have witnessed many different parenting styles and criticized those styles. We have thought to ourselves (or dared to speak out loud) “I will/would never let my child _______.” Now, we are parents, and many of those thoughts and statements have come back to haunt us. Now that the tables have turned, what are others seeing you do that they would never do? Are you trying to change that, or, have you accepted it as your way of parenting?
