No matter how calmly you try to referee, parenting will eventually produce bizarre behavior, and I'm not talking about the kids. Their behavior is always normal. —Bill Cosby

Do you ever feel like there's bizarre behavior in your house? If so, join the club... the MYC club! You'll find that your life is not as crazy as you think, and that there are other moms out there who know what you're going through. Here are some thoughts from some current members:

"MYC welcomed me in when Amaya was only 3 weeks old and it's been a great place to discuss how to be a "Positive Mom" from the get go, learn from other more seasoned mothers, and offer and receive support for the many "issues" in life that will always be there. Thanks everyone!" —Tammy Boehman

"The books we read are a great starting point, but it's the fun, support & friendship that I really appreciate. And it's not just friendship, it's a "Sisters-in-Christ" kind of love & encouragement that means so much to me." —Annette Chambers

This summer, MYC will be meeting to read and discuss The Parent You Want to Be: Who You Are Matters More Than What You Do by Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott. This book offers a plan for cultivating the traits you most want your child to have. We will discover the most important question you'll ever ask as a parent, the three-step method to avoid being the parent you don't want to be, and the secret to making your "intentional traits" stick on even your worst days.

We'll meet every Thursday morning through August 21. The group is open to members, nonmembers, and moms of all ages—so come along and bring your friends, or plan to make some new ones. Childcare cost is $2 per child per week, with a maximum cost of $5 per week. There are scholarships available, so please do not let the childcare cost keep you from joining us!

Interested? Email me, Susan Sprouse, at susansprouseAThotmail.com, or call 328-2869. Please let me know by June 1st if you'd like to join so I can have time to order our books. (Of course, all latecomers are welcome—you'll just have to find your own copy of the book.) Please also let me know the names of the kids you'll be bringing and their ages, so our childcare workers can be prepared. I look forward to hearing from you!
