Re: Mom's with kids names that end with an S.....can you help
I have posted a similar question in the past and have had people respond that both are correct. 
Confuses the heck out of me. But I usually go with 's.... so Seamus's ice cream bowl.

Both forms are correct .... Seamus' and Seamus's. I prefer the apostrophe alone personally.
Just like Jesus'.
