Where do Manic Mommies turn when they need a shoulder to cry on, a friend who will just listen (and not judge) or words of wisdom from someone who's been there, done that? They go under the big tent. This week we read through the Manic Mommies big tent forums and share our thoughts on the conversations listeners are having without us. But first, a story of how a single dirty dish landed one of the Manic Mommies in a self-imposed time out.

Raise your hand if you think the end-of-school season is crazier than the holidays! The Manic Mommies take break from the madness to catch up on the huge pile of magazines that has been gathering in their homes. We discuss television, celebrity gossip, bed wetting (again), birthdays (again) and anything else that comes to mind.

This week we simply unwind in front of the microphones and chat about what's on our minds: selling out the escape, bed wetting (why can't parents be more honest about this?), kids who talk back (not that we know any) and therapy. When on the couch, is it really necessary to focus on the past to deal with the present?

Following up on the success of the documentary "Growing Up Online," producer Rachel Dretzin is turning her lens on the rest of us in the new Frontline project, Digital Nation. She and her team are exploring the effect of technology on all of us – the way we live, the way we work, the way we connect with others, even the way we think!
