What, no recommendations?? I can tell you what I'd choose from the title alone: "Mothers Need Time-Outs, Too."
I believe I may have actually uttered this sentence before, perhaps while barricaded in the bathroom...

Can she have a second for her excellent choice of "Edamommy" as her posting name?
It is a great handle.

I'm going with Mama Rock's Rules. Levity is the only thing that can trump the daily perils and inanities of motherhood, and Edamommy is a funny lady.
Plus, her son makes me laugh every time I hear Marty in Madagascar proclaim of the beach: "This place is CRACKA-LACKIN'!"
If Mama Rock knows how to foster a sense of humor, let us ALL read this one.
