How to submit an article/post to Type-A Mom

• Click My Articles on the top right menu (which appears only when logged in).
• Click "New"
• Enter your Title (think first and foremost, "What would someone type enter a search to find this information," which will help you boost traffic to your article).
• Choose either Stages, Mom Topics or Mom Types as your section
• Choose the category in the next line.
• Scroll down and enter the your content in the large box.
• Pasting from Word adds a ton of junk code and makes pages look awful (for example, the site is on Arial, but if you wrote an article in Word with Times New Roman, that's how it would appear). This means that articles would require heavy editing straight in the html source code. Due to this, you will lose some formatting when you click save.
• To add an image, click the little picture icon. In the bottom half of the popup box, you will see a section that says “Browse.” Find the little green upload button (mouse over if needed), and then find image. Check the box that says select after upload. Then insert. You can change the size right in this upload box, but be sure to leave it checked to leave the size ratio correct. Please do not insert an image wider than 300 pixels, and please align images to the left or right.
• Click save.
• Your article will go into an approval queue.
• Review your article after it has been published.

limont24 (Author) 2008-10-08 03:11:45 hi there, I have had the same dilemma in the past, well what I mean is I have a gay brother in law and him and his partner wanted to stay in the same room whilst here in my home, I didnt want them to be bad examples for my children as it would have confused them so I asked that they stay in separate rooms for that reason, they completely understood. Yes I think it may be a mistake as you are condoning what is happening, but you dont want them to go somewhere else either, the best thing would be to talk to him and tell him that if he respected you then he would not ask to stay over. It may be a good idea to talk with his family also, if you can get them onside then things will be alot easier. Open conversation with them is the key and mutual respect.

Who's the Boss Helpful Hannah (Author) 2009-01-31 09:41:28 Hello: Experiencing the loss of a spouse, whether it be due to divorce or death, leaves the surviving spouse in an emotional state of helplessness as they grieve. Passing time des heal wounds but nine months is not enough. Genuine healing does not begin until a year has passed from the time of separation. During this initial year, the surviving family members will process the loss they have experienced gradually. Every time a signifigant date arrives whereby something would have been shared with their loved one is the elemental factor in this. Birthdays, anniversaries, vacations, etc., are a few examples. For these memories are the strongest. You state that you are allowing your daughter's boyfriend to stay the night on occasion. Then you ask if "is it a mistake"? If you would not have allowed this to happen if your husband were living then you are allowing it to happen due to the emotions that yo...

SavedSista (Author) 2009-07-24 19:31:00 I think it is a bad idea. When I was in high school, my best friend was allowed to have her boyfriend spend the night. As a result, she lost her focus on academics and was pregnant by the prom. I think you try taking to her and expressing how you feel. Allow her to express how she feels. Then sit down with her and the boyfriend and set some rules. Remeber, you are the adult and you can't afford to allow them make a mistake today that will affect their future.

sbarton1220 (Editor) 2008-11-01 18:49:11 Hi, First of all, (((HUGS))) to you. I know what you're going through is not easy and I commend you for all you're doing. Second, having been a daughter whose dad passed away, I can tell you that she's testing her limits with you. When my own dad died when I was 18, I found myself doing a lot of really stupid things that I might not have done otherwise. I think I did this to push past my grief and think about something else for once. Not that this is the right thing to do. Without knowing any specifics about your situation, I think you need to sit down with your daughter and have a talk with her. What's going on in her head? Also, with regard to the boyfriend staying over, is this something that you would have allowed when your husband was alive? Why is it okay now? It's your house and if you're not okay with this, she needs to know where you draw the line. Best of luck to you. Healing is hard enough, and I couldn't imagine<...
