Well, we are going to do some yard work if the weather cooperates and it's my wife's birthday so we'll be going out to celebrate. And of course we'll spend some time in our hot tub. It's great for R&R and face time.

We try to compromise and find a movie that we both like. We both like comedies and hate horror movies, so it usually works out well. She likes action movies she says, but I think she likes watching certain actors more than the movie itself - Russell Crowe and Matt Damon for instance.

I think it would depend upon the age of your grandson. I know our school system has guidelines set up based on age and grade. Sometimes kids do finish at school. But what we've always done is go by the guidelines. If they don't specifically have homework, they have to reread notes from that day...

I just hate when I'm watching my kids play a sport like soccer or hockey and hear some loudmouth yelling at his kids. Now there are times when I get steamed about something I hear, but I have never allowed myself to get in an argument with another parent in the stands or on the sidelines. It's...

I was totally expecting to hate this movie. But my wife had read the book and wanted to go, so we went. It was an amazing movie, so good that I'd see it again. How many of you guys have seen it?

I agree that it depends on the maturity of the child. But we had our kids take ours with them when they were going out to places like the mall in case they needed to get hold of us or visa versa.

We make sure that there is no adult content or excessive bad language or violence. They'll see that soon enough as it is. Oh and since my wife gets scared watching horror movies, we don't watch them either.

No, not at all. In fact, it takes a real man to do things like that and not feel embarrassed by it. Hey, they're our kids too. Why shouldn't we do everything for them like our wives do?

We have a huge garden and plant the usual summer veggies in it. We also have some strawberries and raspberries. And I hope to get a few blueberry bushes in this year. The most unusual thing I've ever planted was artichokes. They don't grow well in my region because of the cold winters. My wife...

We don't fight often and when we do we try not to do it in front of the kids to a great degree. I think it's healthy for them to see parents disagree because that's part of life, but I wouldn't want them to worry that we were going to break up by having a really bitter fight in front of them.

We go on the weekends together as a family now that they are in school. When they were still at home, we always enrolled them in story time which they really loved to be a part of.

When my dad passed away my sons were quite young. We took them to the funeral parlor to say goodbye and they wrote letters and drew pictures for grandpa which we told them were going to go to heaven with him. They also attended the funeral service.

I think I'd just tell him that it can be tough being a parent especially for the first time, so if he needs any help or advice, you're there for him. After that it's up to him.

I'm not sure that there will be that many changes in the Wii so there's probably no point in waiting to get one. And with so many new games always being released it's turning out to be more fun all the time.

If you are doing the fast food route, maybe choose a place like Subway where at least the choices are fairly nutritious, or order a pizza with less meat toppings and more veggies. And for other fast food places, go for a salad instead of the fries.
