Who's in charge?

So you wake up one day and realize, the kids that were once running down the stairs to cuddle with you first thing in the morning are now more interested in what friends house they can go to and what exciting thing we are doing because staying at home is so BORING!!! Video games are much better than Sesame street. And then of course at 14 they really do not want time with you they just want your money! Of course I remember when I wa 14 I knew everything! (Not).
At 71/2 my youngest thinks that the world revolves around him. Don't we all at times? They all think they are in charge, my job is to show them who is in charge. My job is just facilitating what God has already laid out for their lives. My obedience to God will directly reflect my parenting both kids.

I want to create a place for other moms to talk and research information. To help each other get through the day to day challenges of parenting.
Looking into topics like: Asthma and your child (links to medical Q&A),
Raising Godly children and the connection between the parents faith.
Grandparents involvement in raising our kids, (how much is too much, how much is too little)

Sports and kids how much is too much? Public education vs homeschooling (In relation to the state of our public school system.)
Blending families.
And finally, how to help your child deal with a death.
I look forward to chatting and making some new contacts, like other Christian parents as we try to raise healthy children with healthy morals and values that will help them as they grow up.

It has been said: It takes a village to raise a child!

Shellee, that seems like an awesome topic. I'd be really interested in how you'll look at how others parenting sites answer the same question.
