I have no idea. I can't imagine the teacher walking from student to student all day. We'll have to see. I said the same thing! It's certainly going to be an interesting year. I see many parent teacher conferences and group bull sessions in my future.

I don't have a problem with him washing them but I doubt they're very clean and I don't think punishing him is appropriate. Have you tried talking to your dad?

I don't think even a judge would send him to juvie the first time he was picked up by the cops. I think having him picked up by the cops would safe both of you a lot of problems down the line. Hopefully it would straighten him out.

Yeah, my wife is running into the same problem. She got all excited when we finally got rain that it didn't occur to her that we might end up with too much. There's always next year.

I'm glad for the rain, hopefully it's in time to save a lot of crops around here and keep prices down. It does make traffic horrendous though.

This is a tough one for our house. My wife has no problem overruling me if she thinks I punish them too harshly but when it's her I can't. We usually argue about it after the kids are asleep.

Since I'm not home during the day I have no idea what my wife lets them do. I know that in the evenings and on weekends they really don't have the time to play but I do restrict it.

My wife is already planning how and where we'll do the family picture to be put on Christmas cards. I'd rather just us a shot from vacation rather than a (stressful) posed Christmas picture. Any opinions?

There were days when I was just thankful the kids were all in one piece when I got home! What surprises me now is when she goes out of her way to help my family.

What annoys me are the parents that go to every single thing for years and years. At some point your kid can go to practice by themselves and would probably prefer it.

You should probably spend some time with them and find out what's really going on. Maybe they're friends with a bunch of jerks and are going along to get along.

No I wouldn't disown them. I understand why some fathers do and I feel sorry for them and sorry for their kids but that wouldn't happen in my house.

I'm from a Colts family and my wife is from a Steeler's family so I definitely do influence my children! I do not want them wearing black and gold during the season. :(

We only get pets that can be put in cages because I and my kids are allergic but that doesn't stop my wife from buying pets all the time. She grew up with a cat so it's been difficult for her not to be able to have one.

I don't think they'd prescribe a growth hormone unless his bone age was very different than his actual age. HGHs have been around for over 30 years so they're pretty safe.
