    Pocketbooks

    We read! My kids have read those too CHenne and many more. I would say their favorites were the "Magic Tree house" books. I loved reading that series with the kids too. Magical!

    Playing with your kids.

    We also play board games a lot with the kids. That is one major thing that is under the Christmas tree every year (family games). We also play the Wii with the kids and play sports outside with them too.

    First time you caught them drunk?

    Wow, my kids have never come home drunk yet. I would say I first drank around that age so it sounds about right. You better keep an eye on him and have a good talk with him too.

    belly

    It could be a hernia, I've seen other babies with these. I bet the doctor would have noticed it though. Usually babies go into the doctor a lot more than kids and adults, so I bet the doctor will catch it.

    Did you make cookies for your school?

    We can't take in any home made goodies at our school, they all have to be store bought or wrapped. I guess there are a lot of allergy problems (peanuts). So nope we didn't take any cookies in. I bet the kids had a ball making them with you though!

    What Magazines Do Your Kids Read?

    My older daughter looks at the same (Teen Vogue) and she also likes any magazine that has Justin Beiber on it. Her room is full of his posters! My son reads Sports Illustrated.

    Sex talk.

    It's way younger than 13-14 here in the States. I think kids are taught about sex ed in 6th grade which would be 11-12. Kids are starting to experiment earlier these days and it's crazy!

    Library Books

    Oh no- Nope not us not yet. How much are they charging you for the book? It stinks that they lost it. How old are your kids? Perhaps you should have them put their library books on the table at night.

    Paying for Chores?

    I pay for chores, it's how the kids get money to do the things that want to do. If they do extra things they get extra money. They don't ask for it, it's just something I like to do. I don't think it's the kids job to clean the house, so when they help out they should make some money.

    A turkey!

    You can also cook a turkey in the turkey cooker (A big chicken wing cooker). I don't like it this way as much as in the oven but it's ok. We always use a bag when we roast ours, it's cuts the cooking time down by hours.

    Babysitting for family

    My cousin asked my daughter to babysit for her kids this coming weekend. My daughter loves to babysit, but I hate to say that my cousins’ kids are little brats – they don’t mind anyone. She has been through many babysitters, they just don’t come back after the 1st time. My daughter really...

    Sporting events

    How very sad! I’m a NY Yankee fan and we are out of it now! We lost and now we are out. It was fun to watch the games with my kids. They always got such a big chuckle out of it. We all put on our Yankee shirts and hats and watched them. They were really bummed (the kids) when they lost but...

    Just Found Out

    That is really sad! I have a friend who is going through the same thing. With my friend though he found out when the county contacted him for child support. I guess the mom was trying to get assistance and she had to list the dad. Pretty sad. He is now trying to fight for custody!

    People asking for advice

    Wow, selfish doesn't even cover it. Give him advice! Tell him exactly what you are saying here.... he does not spend enough time with his family. His band should not come before his kids! That is just too sad really.

    Did it and am so excited

    I am pretty excited, I just bought the tickets for the Steelers game that I am taking my kids to. It will be pretty cold but I’m sure they will have a blast. It’s a Christmas gift to them from me. I usually pick out a couple of things on my own and then my wife does a lot of the other...

    Wanting the kids for the holidays

    My brother is trying to get his kids for the Holidays. His ex-wife is trying to not share them. It’s pretty sad if you ask me, the kids want to come to my brother’s house over Christmas break. They have even asked their mom right in front of my wife (we stay close to them both – brother and...

    Kids working for money

    My son has been working around the neighborhood for some extra cash. I think it’s great! He kept coming to me for money for this and that and I said, son you have to find a way to make some money for some of the things that you want. I used to rake the leaves and mow my neighbors lawns too...

    Chores

    My kids have a chore list and they have to do the chores every week. Most of the time the chores are just on the weekend. My wife and I pick up the house at night once the kids go to bed.

    A turkey!

    Making a turkey is super easy. You basically can just thaw it out, clean it out (be sure to get the bag out of it), butter it up and then put spices on it and toss it in a turkey cooking bag. The bags have the directions on how long to cook it.

    Agree with your wife

    Do you and your wife agree on everything pertaining to the kids? There are times that we do not agree but we try to stand behind each other. At times our kids can sense this and try to play us. It drives me crazy! Most times it does not work but they still try.
