Monday's Quick Hits: Best of New York, 13 is the New 18, Helping Your Child During a Move and More!

3/9/09 - By Jodi

Oh man I cannot believe I even have time to sit down at a computer to write.  With the weekend weather as beautiful as it was, and my son's decided efforts to expend each piece of energy he stored up over the winter, the computer has been the last place for me to land.  Somehow, though there are great writers still writing out there in the WWW, and I've done my best to lasso them up.   Today:  NY Mag has released their "Best of New York" issue, why women feel dissatisfied (hint: stop comparing yourself to the lady next to you), help with transitioning your child during a move, and one Brooklyn mom's hilarious hi-jinx.  Read them.... then go outside!

We've all heard that we shouldn't go to bed angry.  One writer submits that we should just go to bed.  Read the case here.  (Mom Logic)

Brooklyn Mom, Beth Harpaz, has written a funny book about being a mom to a teenage boy in New York City called 13 is the New 18.  Read excerpts that will make you LOL and if you're wondering if she's making it up that her kids have driven her crazy, watch her self-promotional videos. (13 is the New 18)

So it turns out women are dissatisfied because we don't realize how much we do have, and are all too aware of what we don't have.  Dive in a little deeper here. (Times Online)
