    Are you going away on vacation this summer?

    My wife is trying to talk me into a trip to Disney World this summer, but I'm leaning towards going up to the Wisconsin Dells and staying at one of those hotels with a water park (which would be cheaper!). Are you planning a getaway for this summer?

    No, I'm the boss...

    My 5 year old is getting quite the attitude. He's starting to talk back a bit. I can usually just raise my voice a bit and he backs down, but my wife is having a bit more trouble. Any suggestions on dealing with this new power struggle?

    Too much for a 5 year old?

    Our son is going to be in little league T-ball for the second year this summer. He has on average 3 games a week for ten weeks. My wife thinks this is too much for a five year old. What has been your experience with little league baseball schedules or other sports as well?

    When would you start their allowance?

    I was just wonder, when is a good age to start a child on an allowance? My son is 5 and is starting to realize the importance of money. So, I'm thinking of giving him a few chores to earn an allowance. When do you think is a good age to start down this road?

    The look.

    My wife laughs when our son starts to misbehave and I give him what she has termed as "the look". Usually, this look and a stern, "Hey!" will stop him in his tracks and cease whatever activity he is doing. Do you have a look or some other gesture or phrase that stops your child from misbehaving?
