    What do you do when you find out your kid is kind of a jerk?

    I saw they actually have the be a star campaign against bullying. Our kids school is really strict about it, I am talking suspension for threats and such so the first thing is there may be consequences that our generation did not deal with. Second maybe talk to him and see what is behind it...

    Would you treat you son with Growth Hormone therapy?

    His bones are about a year and a half behind. We are taking him for the GH test Wednesday so I will post back once we have results. Don't get me wrong, its not about him being tall to me. It's if he is healthy. I am scared to death of like cancer increase and that stuff but he is smaller than...

    Make it Work People!

    Its cheaper to keep her. Just kidding. I have been in a rocky marriage for years and we are still trying to make it work. Its unfortunate because we only have a year left on our mortgage with 2 kids. The part that sucks is the Father really gets the shaft. She gets to keep everything and...

    Who gets the children during the divorce?

    This. It is virtually impossible for the Father to gain sole custody unless the Mother is like on drugs or something. Even woman that cheat keep the kids. Its just the way it goes. This is generally why the Father is the one to leave anyway.

    Morning Coffee?

    I have to have my one cup or I am a vegetable. I used to sugar it all up but now I use stevia and cream. Sometimes I use honey, sounds weird but it's awesome.

    Colorado Shooting

    How old is he? Depending on how old he is it may be a good time to touch base with him on his life, how is he doing. The scariest part of this is how a kid could snap like that.

    Would you treat you son with Growth Hormone therapy?

    So for 2 years we have been tracking my 7 year old son at a pediatric endo. He has fallen off the charts for growth and we need to get his growth hormone checked. He is currently projecting to be close to 5', he doesn't really gain weight much but other than that seems pretty active, healthy...

    Daughter flying alone

    No way to avoid this these days. I think 15 is ok. Like others have said it really depends on how mature she is. You can stay at the gate with her and when she gets off the plane you folks are there. As long as you have some kind of "what if" plan when she gets off. Like for some reason you...

    Advice on Bullying?

    The issue with this it that the schools have a very strict no tolerance rule. My Son is the smallest in his school so he gets his share. If he retaliates in any way verbally or not he is in the Principles office or worse. They can't even say things like "I'll kill you" or anything threatening...

    Too much homework?

    This is the biggest shift in the newer generation of kids. Its no wonder kids game all the time, when are they supposed to go out exactly? My son just finished 1st grade and he had daily homework with additional reading and writing daily on top of it. Where its really a pain are the nights...

    Head Start Programs

    I am very familiar with "Head Start" My kids were actually excluded from the program because we actually paid for the day care where it was held. They just mixed all the kids together anyway but it was almost a welfare type thing to me. The teachers were pretty good but they were the same...

    Nervous Father of 2

    I never would have imagined how kids would change my life. They are truly life changing and I live for mine. I have a son (7) and a daughter (5). Looking forward to meeting everyone.
