Mom on Strike

My friend Sandy wrote an amazing musical called “Rated P for Parenthood,” which debuted at the South Orange, New Jersey Performing Arts Center and then ran off-Broadway. It was a hilarious and touching look at raising kids from birth to college, starring talented actors who made me laugh and cry all four times I saw it. It may be touring sometime soon so if you get a chance, do yourself a favor and check it out!

While Sandy was working on and promoting the show she started a blog on the “Rated P” website which she is still writing.  I was a guest blogger this week and wrote about how I went on strike to get my kids to do their house chores. Please have a look here.

And let me know in the comments if you’ve had any success with getting your kids to help out around the house. It’s an ongoing issue so I can use all the advice I can get!
