I have been an Educator/ Director/ Parenting Counsellor for over two decades at ‘My Own Nursery‘—an exclusive private School in Bombay, India. During this time, I conducted Parenting Seminars and had weekly Counselling sessions. Currently, having acquired Permanent Residency in U.S.A. my passion for motivating parents and inspiring the youth through the written word continues undiminished.
I have completed a Montessori Training Course in Early Childhood Education & Child Development at Princeton- New Jersey, U.S.A. which brought me wider recognition in the field of Education and Parenting. I have a Masters Degree specializing in English Lit. and Psychology from St. Xavier’s College, University of Bombay-India.
During Post Graduate studies at the University, my writings diversified to span a wider spectrum of society. I tackled social issues especially pertaining to youth and delved into the field of investigative reporting having taken a Course in Journalism. I interrogated students and researched profusely in the areas and interests relating to children and youth on varied social issues like the Hazards of Drug Abuse amongst youngsters and the benefits of Environmental studies.
As a free-lance writer to local Women’s Magazines, I contributed periodically, a series of Parenting Articles/ Tips. As a teacher at two of the most prestigious schools, my writings were motivational and inspirational both for the children and their parents. My goal has consistently been to touch lives of children and their parents through the power of the written word.
I was honored when our fabulous Yana invited me to join this site. I hope to make a significant contribution here in all aspects of Parenting while focussing on children and youth. I look forward to your visit with comments/queries to my Posts.

Help my older daughter and I disagree first on that she works and she has a side job selling Southern Living at home where she does parties. First, I will send her the children need time article. She wants me to babysit a lot. They go to Vegas, have time with friends alone, celebrate birthdays,anniversaries, without the kids. Second, I have Sjogrens with a bunch of annoying little problems. One daughter is like her and has to be active all the time so my husband who is both working and getting a Phd has to watch them. It takes me days to recover if they stay the weekend. She acts like I am a hypocondracte but most of the things I have had diagnosed were from a test.
She will do whatever it takes to get what she wants. She has my older daughter not tell me things and they make plans. Now she has her sister sit since I am not doing it anymore. We live about 50miles from her. She thinks because my husband makes good money we should pay for things like her HAVING to eat at nice places. If we dont go to some she likes she gets mad. I am tired of being manipulated. For instance, she had me call the Ellen show for tickets. I was the only one who got them. Then she said I would have to go. Later I found out we had to leaver her house at 4:30 am and stand in line for hours then a big break before returning. It was an all day thing. She said we had to go early or we might not get in the tickets are oversold and where you are in line determines if you get in. I dont even like going to these shows and i dont watch them. She kept it all from me so I would go. The latest thing did it. I am not making any arrangements with her since she is deceptive. I will not watch the kids they can come over and visit. She would drop them off on the way to some run she was in or a party near me whatever. Her schedule is always full. Now she says i need to see her physc with her. She has apparently been talking about me to her so she wants me to come. I said I wasn’t sure because I have school and I needed to see how it went. She kept bugging me and said I could go to her daughters event at school if I came. This is terrible to me that she would use them as pawns. We are cutting back so I decided not to go to the convention for Southern Living and when I told her she said I should give the ticket to her friend for the change fee. This is typical also. She said I should give things to her other friend that I was going to sell and did it while she was with her. What was I going to say no? My mom spoiled her and she manipulated my mom. I am not like my mother and I will not do things just because she gets mad or will hold a grudge. She gets mad at me and will email my husband about how terrible I am and I have told her to stop it because it interferes with his work.
I dont want to go to the appointment now. i got my syllabus and it show I have a midterm that day. i usually dont feel good because of the stress and the school is even farther away I would no have traffic there but I would home and it would take about an hour to drive. I dont think this is wise with my health. also, i went though counseling with my daughter and the counselors we saw except a few that were one time things like the school, get manipulated by my kids. They usually have a preconceived idea. I also know I am just setting how things are going to be and she does not like it so she is trying to get me in so I can get straightened out. My doctors have told me first not to sit when the kids are sick and there are a lot. She will not tell me this either since I might not sit if they get sick. I was constantly sick when we were first here. Until she stops the manipulation I do not want to deal with her as far as making plans. She says terrible things to me and then says I am terrible. That is another manipulation trick she has to make me feel guilty. I usually ignore it and that makes her madder. I made a big Thanksgiving dinner and she complained, so did my daughter about some of the foods. My son-in-law even said it was a tough crowd. I really think I should not go to the appointment even if it is rescheduled because it is an issue of setting boundaries she does not like!

Hello Aretha!

Hi,
It is very nice to meet you and i do hope we will be chatting more often.
Have a nice weekend.
I enjoy reading and writing, networking with friends and relatives, walking and travelling.
I love to cook for my family and close friends.
O they are so many to be named here.
Right from Literary works of Shakespeare to Wordsworth’s Poetry.
And then for the time being Romantic Novels.
Currently, I’m most interested in Personal Development and inspirational books like that of Denis Waitely and Jim Rohn.
Music is the food for the soul. Most types of music appeal to me.
However, my favorites are Classical and slow Jazz.
I enjoyed playing the guitar and composing songs for my Nursery kids when I was running the school of around 50 kids and 3 teachers.
My interests are varied. I’m interested in gaining knowledge in many spheres.
I’m interested learning about different cultures and countries.
I’m interested in viewing works of art and go hunting for antiques.
