    Ordering pizza

    It's pretty easy for us. We order half with cheese and pepperoni. The other half has all the fixings my wife and I like. My daughter doesn't like pepperoni, so we pull off the pepperoni and have extra on our side. A large pizza keeps everyone happy. Ordering a pizza is no dilemma at home. Almost...

    Lazy Kids?

    We have always been a little on the tough love side, sitting down (age appropriate of course) to explain what happens to the body when its lazy works wonders. We did this many years ago with our oldest and she learned very quick the bad things that can happen with a body when its out of shape.

    Dad for the first time!

    I know that sometimes you get frustrated and just want to crawl in a corner because the noise and yelling and crying but it gets better. Also congrats on finding love, everyone should get the chance to experience it. I'm sure your fiance loves you more and more everyday just for being there for...

    YouTube Madness

    My oldest has been begging to go, but we haven't taken her yet. I am afraid she and her one year old brother will get us kicked out. Seriously, happened to my cousin awhile back! I haven't spent too much time on YouTube myself. I go there to watch videos every so often. I've never found myself...

    Library Time

    We don't go as often as we used to. The kids are a bit older now. We used to take them all the time when they were younger. I think taking your kids to the library is a wonderful way to bond with them. My oldest has been begging to go, but we haven't taken her yet. I am afraid she and her one...

    Too old is how old?

    I went back to school when I was past 40. And I was in the same class with my eldest son. We both enrolled in night school to learn the language of the country we have moved to. No problem at all. Except with my son. He didn't want to be seen with me. But that's only at the beginning. Later we...

    How much to spend

    We have our own spoil moments and sometimes its our kids, their kids or even us. We are thankful after many years of practice that we limit when we spoil and why. The most recent was a small but pricy gift for our daughter in law after receiving her Doctrine. Well, ease up on the gifts. Buy him...

    Best Indoor Play Places For Your Kiddos

    We have had birthday parties at places like indoor miniature golf with indoor machines where they have tokens and win prizes. These are such a ripoff. I would much rather have the kids in my back yard. But, My kids would rather be exploring outside, but sometimes they like to go to Chuck E...

    Wife as breadwinner

    I met one guy years ago who has a wife that was almost like second in command to the Dean of a large college out in CA. I am sure she made more than him, now she is somewhat on a break after a move to another state so now he makes more again. This may sound mean, but I would love it if the wife...

    Apologies

    My wife and I went through this phase in the early years of our marriage. It was such a big deal who apologized and who didn't. But now that we're older and have adapted to the realities of married life, we have learned to focus on what's important (like learning how to compromise, for one) and...

    On lying and infidelity

    Wow. That's really a shame. I hate to hear about marriages being ruined on account of infidelity. I feel like you shouldn't marry someone if you're not willing to spend the rest of your life being faithful and monogamous with them. Often times that means saying no to people you would have...

    Father to be expectations

    She's supposed to be an adult at that age. However, I don't think you should be too upset with her behavior. I have seen some pregnant women who really take full advantage of their condition to make unreasonable demands. Do what you can but you don't have to give in to everything she wants...

    Men In Black 3

    I saw this movie as well and thought the same thing. I was a bit skeptical about it going in, but fortunately I was wrong in my assumptions. I thought it was pretty hilarious and I like that it didn't feel cheap at all, which was my biggest worry. The story was pretty good, although I would have...

    Library Time

    We don't go as often as we used to. We used to take them all the time when they were younger. I think taking your kids to the library is a wonderful way to bond with them. That must be a strict library, Bear. My toddler is far from angelic but we are still warmly welcomed by the youth librarian...

    Are you OK with a B?

    My kids aren't that age yet, but I would be ok with a B as long as they were working hard. I taught high school for a couple years and I saw kids who stressed out so much about getting a B instead of an A that they'd practically be in tears. I don't want my kids to get that upset. I would tend...
