    Scary Movies

    We like a lot of genres, so we tend to rotate what we watch. Some times it's comedy, others is horror. We don't do a lot of drama really, but we do love science fiction.

    Spacing out during a conversation.

    In my case it's not seizure-I'm just tired. I do it a lot too-I'll see something out of the corner of my eye and it will lead to me thinking about something else. I guess I don't really zone.

    Skin Infections

    As well as plantar warts, colds, flu, and any other yucky that the kids happen to be carrying. Impetigo can be passed during any contact sport too, so you'll want to watch them then too.

    Offering support

    If I'm honest, no I wouldn't. I keep out of other people's business. I've seen in the past, other people offer like that and get their head bitten off by the person they offered help to.

    Are you friendly with your neighbors?

    We always got on well with our last neighbors, but we moved just a couple of weeks ago. It's always going to take a little time to meet people and get to know them once you move.

    Finding a Babysitter

    I seem to recall that your little man is still tiny? At less than a couple of months old, I wouldn't be ready to leave the baby either. I would maybe consider asking a grandparent to come in and help out with the two of you there. Your wife could still nurse, and the grandparent do everything...

    Skin Infections

    Our little trouble maker is feeling fine, but has the yucky skin condition impetigo. She's started treatment for it, and we're hiding in the house because it's contagious. I hope the rest of us don't get it!

    Babies at the Movies

    It seems a bit weird to me. I can understand them being free and allowed into younger films, but not to the more grown up ones. No matter how much they understand I wouldn't do it anyway.

    Consistancy

    It's really so important that you figure this one out. If you don't agree then you need to come to a compromise that you can both handle, and then be willing to try other things if it doesn't work out for the kid.

    Kids Wanting Gadgets

    I don't think that all of these things are essential at all, however, a kid that doesn't have good access to a computer at an early age is at a disadvantage because other kids will have.

    Step Dads and Relationship Failure

    We're not having problems-just a thought that occurred to me. What happens if you split up with someone, having got close to the step kids? Do you miss them? Is there ever a chance to see them occasionally-I know you aren't biological but would you ask to visit them occasionally?

    Home dad of 2

    Four year olds are little terrors, and this one has a new kid to contend with. Perhaps you should concentrate on him more when the baby is asleep? He might be feeling pushed out somehow.

    Teeth!!

    Yes it is normal for them to basically come in pairs, though there may be a couple of weeks between the two. It's not a nice process for any of you, but it won't last that long.

    Nick names

    You might not be able to. In fact it might be better to just get used to it, because the simple fact is that when they go to school they'll have lots of nicknames, and not all of them will be kind.

    Finances

    Do you and your wife discuss all aspects of your finances? Or is it more of a case of having mutual concerns that you discuss, and the rest you just leave alone?
