This Labor Day weekend, my family and I will be taking a much needed mini-vacation away from home - away from computers - away from phones and going camping.
Granted, I’m not much for camping in the sense of popping a tent and sleeping on the ground, but I am anxious to try out our new […]
My son recently broke up with a girl that’s been friends with and known my other son since early elementary school. For nearly a year now, my family has taken a keen liking to this girl. She’s fun, she’s endearing and well, frankly, living on the banks of Lake Testosterone, I kind of enjoyed having […]
A fight between two Indiana boys landed the mother of one of the boys in jail last week after she encouraged the fight and refused to break it up.
For those wondering, NO it wasn’t me!
Although I have to admit, I would like to beat the mother for being quoted as saying: “The police didn’t bother […]
Last night, two of my kids wanted to attend the varsity football game. I didn’t have a problem with it really. After all they would be just up the road, inside a fenced in field with plenty of school officials around, right?
My only rule when dropping them off to attend the game was to STAY […]
I’ve been told I’m not the most sympathetic parent (or spouse for that matter) on the block when it comes to listening to my kids say they are sick. I’ve heard every excuse under the sun when it comes to one of them trying to get out of doing something they’ve been told to do […]
At least last year it took more than a couple of days to get me upset at the way our school is ran. It was my truest hope to be able to sell, move and transfer schools before this school year began. Obviously that didn’t work out quite as I’d hoped.
This year I have one […]
Herb Barber’s 16-year-old daughter, Taniya, desperately needs a kidney transplant. Following a series of testing, he is her only match, but before a transplant can take place, he must lose at least 80 pounds.
At 6′4″, 270 pounds, the 40-year-old Navy veteran is trying to change the way he looks, the way he eats and […]
If you’ve not heard about missing Florida toddler, Caylee Anthony, you must be living under a rock without internet.
Every morning, I watch Headline News with Robin Meade - and almost every day, without fail, Caylee Anthony is mentioned.
I’ve watched quietly and without opinion and taken in the multitude of detail as it makes […]
Everywhere you turn these days, you can hear an exchange of kids asking for email addresses, MySpace accounts or blog addresses. I’ve heard them from kids ranging in age from 7 up. I know of one little girl who is 4 who has an online profile, but her mom has complete control over the activity.
Concerns […]
Grossly overweight children may be taken from their families and put into care if Britain’s obesity epidemic continues to escalate, council chiefs said yesterday.
The Local Government Association argued that parents who allowed their children to eat too much could be as guilty of neglect as those who did not feed their children at […]
