Dear MWM, I am a mother of four, three boys and one girl. We live in Kansas due to my husband's work and I have no family close. I often feel isolated and as the fall season comes into full bloom and winter is fast approaching I feel a bit down and not myself. I have a low tolerance for my children just being children and I am quick to anger and frustration. For the sake of my family, I am reaching out to see if you have any suggestions of where I can begin to get help. Thank you in advance. Subscribe.Listen.Share. IG:@millionwordmom

Dear MWM, Curious George here (LOL)! I am curious to know how you would suggest homeschooling a child that lacks any ambition or drive to do school work or learn new things at least in a tradition way. There are students that would prefer to do nothing most of the time and as little as possible some of the time. Would homeschooling be the best fit for this kind of student? What kind of super hero do their parents need to be? Inquiring minds want to know or should I say curious. Subscribe.Listen.Share. IG:@millionwordmom

Dear MWM, I really enjoy your podcast. It often does cause "emotional decompression" with some of the things you say; however, I am still buckled in and recently hit a bit of turbulence on my parenting journey. I am currently parenting my 10 year old daughter by myself. She sees her father on occasion but not consistently. We don't live around a lot of family and she is starting to ask why her dad doesn't come and see her or pick her up more often. She is questioning her importance to him. How would you suggest I address this with my daughter? Subscribe.Listen.Share. IG: @millionwordmom
