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?

Our school system is trying out a new way of teaching. Each child will be taught at their own pace. I'm not sure how that's going to work, especially if I end up with my kid in junior high at the age of 10. Has anyone else had any experience with this?

The Brickyard 400 is today and there is a burn ban in effect. Tailgaters can't use charcoal grills. I can't imagine walking through a parking lot of tailgaters without that smell in the air. It's a shame because it's a tradition for so many people and those who live out of state were in for a...

What posts annoy you the most? It's easy to hide posts from people's game results but the ones that really get me are the people that post every song they're listening to as a Youtube link.

How many of you coach your kids' games? What sports? I've coached basketball, baseball and football. I passed on soccer, I think my wife will be coaching my daughter's team.

Getting my 6yr. old daughter into a dress is always a major battle in our house. With two older brothers I don't think she wants to be different even though she loves her sandals and shoes. Watched that stupid 'let's make our tiny kids sluts' show tonight. I'll never complain again.

My QB won't be starting for the Colts next Sunday. My wife is a Steelers fan. It's going to be a long depressing week. Maybe a miracle will happen.

My wife got a job at Fedex. If she screws up her back or shoulder will they pay disability? We're not scammers, I'm just trying to plan for any eventuality without discouraging her.

Will be painting a few rooms in the house this weekend. Used to send everyone else out for a few hours but I'm finding that they just come back more wound up. Can't really afford a hotel. Would it be okay if I called her sister and asked if they could just stay there overnight or is that rude?

So the Thanksgiving emails have started. Who's house? What time? What do you want us to bring? Why can't we get through Halloween first? Do women just like to get an early start on stress for the holidays?

My son had an infection in his knee and had to get it scoped a few times. He then broke the same leg and now walks with a limp. Now that he's starting school he's having a hard time even though he's THE MAN at school. He's 8 and I want to tell him he'll be okay but I don't want to make him think...

What are the easiest kind of cabinets to install? We've decided to do our kitchen and 'we' means 'me' which I don't mind because I like looking around and knowing I've done most of the house myself.

It's really hard to get the kids back in the swing of things. My wife's been working nights and so we've been letting them stay up really late so they sleep in and making the switch is hard. Anyone else having this problem? They just don't want to stay in bed.

My sons, though young, are very responsible. They like having their own alarm and setting it to get up for 2nd and 3rd grade. My daughter is now in 1st and doesn't want to wake up for anything. Is this because she's the youngest? Is there something we can do to make school mornings easier?

I used to play basketball but it took me out of the house too much. Now that summer's here I need to find a way to stay in shape at home without spending too much money. Any ideas?

What's everyone doing today? My sister usually has a pool party but it's raining so I'm not sure what we're going to do. Watched the community fireworks last night-even the kids were disappointed by how lame they were.

My son had an infection in his knee and then he broke the same leg. He needs PT but it's a $30 copay for each visit. We've already cleaned out our Flex account so I want to ask if he can go less and do more work at home but I don't want to seem like I'm skimping on his care.

My wife starts her new job tomorrow night. She's going to be working 2a-6a a few nights a week and then take care of our 3 kids while I'm at work. Anyone want to make a bet as to how long she lasts? I'm being very supportive but with her bipolar disorder and her track record I'm giving it a month.

We are going on vacation this weekend. Why? Because I'm a wuss. My wife is starting a part-time job next week so she felt that we should go while we had the chance. It doesn't help that she made money last weekend at a garage sale. We're in debt and I don't know how we're even going to get ahead...

Do your or your wife shop there? Do you let your kids play with toys bought there? I'm just curious as to how other dads feel about this. Financially it's great but I sometimes feel like a failure.
