Long-Term Effects of Parental Favoritism via @MetroParent #motownmoxiemom #detroit #mommyblog

Do you ever play favorites among your kids, or know parents who do? The impact of parental favoritism, good and bad, may run deeper than you think.

By

Jacquie Goetz Bluethmann

Effects of parental favoritism, left unchecked, can be long lasting. A 2010 study titled Mothers’ Differentiation and Depressive Symptoms Among Adult Children found siblings who sensed that their mom consistently favored or rejected one child over another were more likely to exhibit depression in middle age.

The study, published in the Journal of Marriage and Family, also revealed that these possible outcomes can affect both the favored and unfavored child.

Detroit Homework Hotline Arrives for Public School Kids / via @MetroParent #motowmmommusings #detroit

The service is offered by the Detroit Public Schools Community District thanks to a grant. Here’s the scoop on the Detroit homework hotline.

By

Jessica Schrader

Most parents know the feeling: It’s an hour before bedtime, dinner dishes are piled in the sink and you can’t move on with the night because you’re staring at a math equation that has both your child and you stumped.

Blame it on Common Core or the amount of homework today’s kids bring home, but many parents are either unable to help with kids’ homework or simply unavailable for hands-on help during prime homework hours after school.

One new solution? A free homework hotline. The Detroit Public Schools Community District launched its homework hotline in February 2019, Fox 2 Detroit reports.

The Beauty Box you can afford. $5 /4 times a year | Of Course from @Walmart ‏#motownmom

 

Yes, I was skeptical when I saw this, but I was like hey, I’ll take one for the team and see what this is all about. I actually am impressed with just five dollars and the pretty bag.

Not as decorative as Ipsy and it has the Walmart decor on the other side, but really pretty to use as junk pocket for a purse.

Beauty Box Shipping

Winter starting January	Summer starting June
Spring starting March	Fall starting September

It’s really how it says. Five dollars for four boxes and you get asked about ten questions about your beauty style prior to paying for anything. That was cool and they sent me what suits me, although my daughter stole my unicorn glow mask. She loved it.

I think you will too.

A Busy Mom’s Guide to Self-Care @DetroitMomsBlog #motownmoxiemom

Self-care has been quite a buzzword the last couple of years. And no wonder since according to Charlotte Lieberman’s article “How Self-Care Became So Much Work,” the majority of Americans are feeling more overworked, stressed out, and anxious than ever before.

I Can’t Get Rid of That! How to Repurpose Sentimental Clothing via @detroitmomsblog #motownmoxiemom

I Can’t Get Rid of That! How to Repurpose Sentimental Clothing

MANY of us are guilty: we allow worn out pieces to take up prime real estate in our closets. Whether it was clothing worn by a loved one, or it has ties to a special time in our lives, we are emotionally invested in material items. While I am unable to explore the deep psychology behind why we are attached to these things, I am here to offer repurposing solutions for the sentimental pieces we simply cannot get rid of.
