    Credit Cards for Teens

    ?? No way! 15 is way too young to get a credit card. I didn't even think it was legal yet. I'm pretty sure you have to be 18 to have a binding credit card. Stick to your guns on this one.

    Saving Money

    Sure do, the same way you did. I also bought them all a ATM machine (toy) that they can keep track of their money in. They insert the money and then punch in what they put in.

    What's the most expensive gift you've bought your kid?

    We bought our kids a Wii, that was the most expensive gift so far. It was $249 when I bought it. I did buy my daughter a flat screen TV for her room but I got a great deal on it.

    Bullies

    How old is your daughter and is she in danger? I would talk to her and tell her good ways to stop the bullying herself. It's better if she is taking care of her own battles that way she won't be picked on that her daddy has to fight her battles?

    Favorite cut of steak

    I've been flipping a lot lately between T-bone and Porterhouse. When we go out to eat it's usually NY Strip that we get. What is your favorite? How do you cook it? Toppers?

    Well you should consider yourself lucky then. My wife actually tried to take over the grill last weekend when we had friends over. I was like are you kidding me?

    Sending your kids to bed early as a consequence

    Sure, they have been sent to bed early many times. They have even lost TV time and everything and had to go to bed. I've never sent them to bed without dinner though! I think they need to eat something.

    Take me out to the ballpark

    So far so good with the coaching. My daughter is actually enjoying me helping out. This next weekend we are taking the girls out to see the semi-pro team play ball. Can you imagine? Us 2 men coaches and all these girls! I bet they will drive us crazy!

    Child wants to go to friends house

    :( That is a tough one. I would let her go to a sleepover once in a while. It's your time with her though. How old is she? Why can't she go to a sleepover when it's her moms weekend? How about letting her have a friend over to your place?

    Prepared to change diapers?

    I changed many diapers in my time. I had no problem with it. After all what are you supposed to do when your wife is away and the baby has a dirty diaper? My dad jokes with me and says he took off the diaper and then dunked me in the toilet!

    Ants!

    Aints? Do you mean ants? Yes we are! They are every where. I'm having a heck of a time getting rid of them. You kill 10 and then 2 more pop up. I swear it's a pain. I've put the ant cups out and sprayed too. What else can I do?

    wet or dry?

    I prefer to marinate in a sauce so wet sauce. If I'm just using a rub then I go for the dry rub. This is something that I put on right before I cook though.

    Do teachers really do this?

    ?? Not at my kids school. I bet the kids would love it though- No more studying needed. Just need to practice writing really small so they can have the answers!

    Movies the kids want to see

    I was really surprised when my daughter said she wanted to see the new Shrek movie this summer. I don't know why I was surprised though because I want to see it too. What movies do your kids want to see?

    Ratings

    I always look at the ratings of movies. I don't really at the games. We only own a Wii and I don't think any of the games that either of my kids wanted ever were bad. I know some other games are pretty violent and I wouldn't let them pick them out.

    Going to coach

    You think I'm making a good decision? I was asked to help coach the softball team that my daughter plays on this summer. I said sure. I'm excited but I'm not 100% sure how she feels. What do you think?

    Do you swear in front of your kids?

    I try my best to not swear in front of them! Sometimes it just slips out! Like when I bang my head or hit my hand with a hammer! Then I swear! I try not to though. They always tell me to knock it off....

    Dinner time is family time

    I don't mind if someone answers the phone when we are eating. We can't talk on the phone but we at least answer it to see who it is. We don't have caller ID.

    My wife likes to grill sometimes

    Do you let your wife grill out too? I like to be manly as do the grilling, but from time to time my wife wants to grill too. I step back and let her most of the time. What about you?

    The Pursuit of Happyness

    It's an awesome movie I have to admit. I don't cry at movies often- but this one made me cry! TO be honest, I cried several times throughout the movie. I am a fan of Will Smith and this was awesome!
