I have a great buddy who does the same. I think it's great too. I was married once before and we didn't have kids and I don't keep in touch with the old in-laws.

My son went through this too. He stood up for himself and told the kid to cut it out. Once the bully knew it didn't bother him anymore, he moved on. I'm pretty sure if your child used tear gas he would be arrested or suspended.

We have a family game night every couple of weeks at my house. What are your favorite board games? I love Monopoly still. I'm looking for some ideas of what we can play.

You can be a dad at any age, it is totally up to you. I would not wait until just the right time though, it seems to never come. Kids are blessings and whenever it happens it happens.

We actually have tried out a lot of neighborhood teenage girls. We have family members too but it's always good to have a back-up plan. I always ask the girls if they took the babysitting class.

I'm not sure about that. I mean how much do you trust your ex-wife? If nothing is written or signed by the courts can't either of you pretty much do anything? I would be leery.

We go bowling a lot. We like to do the moonlight bowling where they turn off the lights and only light up the lanes. That is cool! The kids love it too.

I love my MIL too, she is awesome. When she comes around she takes the kids and me and the wife get to go do something fun. She is the first person we call too when we need a babysitter.

Oh yeah we carve a lot of pumpkins. My kids actually do the majority of it. They can make them scary or however they want. Of course right now it's way too early too start carving them, they would rot before Halloween.

I can't wait! We are taking a trip back home to see my family. I have a couple of cousins and a sister that we are going to see. We only make this trip every 5 years or so. They make the trip to see us every couple.

Oh no - it's sympathy weight gain for her. She is not gaining but she will. You need to get exercising again! Get active - you want to be healthy for your new child.

I love Shrek and Donkey is my favorite - I bet he will be cute. I don't know yet what my kids want to be. It's always something that they change their mind 100 times before the big day.

My whole family is complaining already about being cold. It's September! I tell them to put more clothes on, no more shorts! I think tonight it will be time to start the furnace. Have you started yours yet?

We have the chance to pick up a pellet stove for pretty cheap. I really want to get it but my wife is not sure about it. How can I convince her it's the right thing to do.

That is good to hear, I've seen far too many butt heads about discipline. It's something that needs to be talked about early on. Parents have to stand united or the kids will know how to get out of discipline.
