This is something my parents did for me and my siblings. We each had savings accounts started for each of us when we were born. Every gift of money at birthdays or other events, was placed into the savings account. We also did this for our kids. It's just a good way to start them thinking about...

I have a little one and with the state of movies these days, I would rather prescreen any movie she sees. My wife says it's unnecessary but I really would like to keep her a child for as long as possible. I know she sees some things in real life all of the time but I would rather shield her from...

I know that when the boys get home that the smell is coming. They could shower three times a day and the smell still wouldn't be gone. I knew this was coming but gee, how do you handle the hormone smell?

My buddy has a son who is 25 years old. He has been into the drug culture since he was 16 and they have had all sorts of trouble with him. Last year, he got onto his horse and rode on the highway at 10pm at night. Of course he got hit and they had to put the horse down. He however, was hurt...

Anybody got any good grill recipes they'd like to share? We have uncovered the grill and are getting ready to start using it. I have one I'd like to share. Teriyaki Chicken 1/2 cup soy sauce 1/2 cup water 1/4 cup pineapple juice (from canned pineapple you use to grill) 1 Tablespoon...

We have missed so much school due to unusually bad weather, they are talking about not taking a full summer break but a couple of one or two week breaks sort of like a spring break. I'm not sure I'm OK with this. I know there are good and bad points to this but I still like the kids to have a...

Alright. I know at 16 my daughter is growing up, but some of the losers that she brings home are absolutely laughable. She brought one kid home this weekend who had all of his hair in his face. I mean, it was literally combed straight down like he had bangs but he couldn't see. He kept bumping...

I awoke at around three this morning hearing the kitchen cabinet door slam. My wife was in bed so it wasn't her. I checked on the kids and the 14 and 13 year olds were in bed. That left the 4 year old. He wasn't in his bed so I trudged to the kitchen. He was in the middle of the floor with a...

Since my kids were born, my wife and I have made it a practice to volunteer time to local charities. I help out one day a week at the local food bank and she helps out at the homeless shelter. I felt we needed to do this to show the kids you need to give back. Now they are starting to get into...

Do you all have as many electronic stuff as I do in my house? I have four TV's, 4 DVD players, 5 CD players, 6 cell phones, a security system, plus all of the assorted household stuff. Oh and we have computers. Each child has one and my wife and I have one desktop and one laptop. It's draining...

My son came home this evening and asked me if I would think about being their baseball coach for this season. I'm thinking about it. I enjoy baseball but will I be able to handle all of the little devils? LOL

My kids are precious to me. I love all of them but I have a daughter who is so much like me it's amazing. We enjoy the same things, we can talk about anything, she follows me everywhere and she even looks a bit like a miniature me. I've tried not to show her special attention but it is hard...

We're already having baseball sign ups where I live. My son is 8 and begging to play on a baseball team. I'm going to let him but gee, I hate the shuffling back and forth to the practices, to the games, to the cookouts, etc., etc. Do your kids do sports?

My wife and I have different ideas on disciplining our 4 year old son. I have discussed this with her and we know we have to get our act together soon. How did you come to an agreement when both of you have different ideas on discipline?
