    Saving Money

    Yes! I never had anybody to teach me about money. I had to learn by my mistakes. I teach my girls to save as much as they can. They also have banks. One bank is for a rainy day and their other bank is to save for something big.

    Ants!

    I haven't had ants this year. I had them bad one year. I bought this stuff that comes in a orange box. I wish I could remember the name. You take the cardboard pieces and had a dab of liquid. One ant eats it and brings it back to the nest. The queen eats it and they all die. It works great.

    Bullies

    It has come to my attention that one of my little girls is being bullied at school. I want to go to the school and string the bully up by his toes, but of course I can't do that. I am at a loss on what I should do. If I should even get involved. What would you do?

    Children telling lies

    I do not tolerate anybody who lies, including my girls. I have tried to teach them that they get in more trouble when they lie, than if they just tell the truth from the beginning. They do not test these waters very often.

    Screaming in a restaurant

    When my girls were small, my wife had a travel bag full of activities and snacks that we carried around with us. It always kept them happy.

    Garden

    I planted my garden last weekend. I had to wait because we had some wacky cold weather the last couple weeks and now it's in the 90's. Go figure! I hope the weather doesn't go back to being cold and ruin everything I planted. Did you plant a garden this year?

    Child wants to go to friends house

    I would allow her to have a friend come over to my house but because of the distance, the parents aren't that keen on letting their 8 year old stay overnight. She does go to overnights while she is at her mom's but lately, many of the overnights have been on the weekends that she is at my house...

    Sending your kids to bed early as a consequence

    I have never sent my kids to bed early as a consequence. If I felt they were tired then I would have them in bed early but not because they were acting out. Honestly, they would have just laid in there and not gone to sleep anyway. They were so on a schedule, the minute 8pm came around, they...

    Custody

    I have a friend who is seeking custody of his boy. I guess the courts are giving him a hard time because they don't see why he wants to take him away from the mother. Do you have any male friends that have custody of their child/children?

    How Much of the Cooking Do You Do?

    When my girls are with me, I try to cook at least one of the 2 days. The other day, I usually take them out to eat. When it is just me, I usually rely on microwave meals or I go grab a sandwich at the dinner down the road.

    What's the most expensive gift you've bought your kid?

    I'm not so sure about this. I would have to say the Hannah Montana concert ticket I bought my oldest daughter. She wanted to go really bad. The concert was sold out. One of my friends had an extra ticket but I had to pay $200 for it because that is what she paid.

    wet or dry?

    I prefer dry rubs. I use a dry rub on my chicken and then use the rotisserie on my grill. I cook it real slow. It's one of my specialties.

    Child wants to go to friends house

    I have tried to discuss it with her but that makes me the "mean" guy. Of course my ex isn't supporting me either. I wouldn't mind having her friends over but I live an hour away, so most parents aren't willing to let their girls stay overnight. I am just going to have to put my foot down. I...

    Child wants to go to friends house

    One of my daughters has decided that she is missing out going to sleep overs because she has to have visitation with me. She wants to have her weekends to herself. Would you let her go to her friends instead of coming to your house for visitation?

    Naming The Child

    We did the yelling test also. lol My wife needed to see if the first name and middle name was easy to just roll off her tongue. We both had names we liked and the final decision was made when we both agreed.

    home maintenance

    Home maintenance is never ending. I swear, sometimes I just want to go back to renting so I don't have to worry about it. Do you do your own maintenance or do you have someone come in and do it?

    Wife Not A Nice Person

    I would try to keep my distance from her. I think your current wife deserves that. Also, by not reacting to your ex wife, she should get bored after awhile and hopefully move on.

    Rage

    I wish I could not care what she was doing. She is the mother of my kids and we were together for a long time. As you can tell, I didn't want this divorce, but am not going to fight her.
