I think the theory of seeking approval from yourself instead of others is a good theory. At the same time I think children should seek approval from adults to a certain extent.

Today I sat down with my wife to talk about Thanksgiving and our budget. Usually we budget about 100 towards food, and what is left over (if any) is gas money. This year we decided to do something a little different. Instead of adding an extra 100 to the budget we came up with a way to plan...

We alternate by year. Each year we trade holidays. We keep a log, or I do of who has what each year so there will be no disputes over it.

If a tree falls in the city and there are people around to hear it, does it make a sound? Yes it does, and it also makes a whole heck of a lot of work. Not the way I had hoped to spend my Saturday morning.

I have trouble maintaining consistent rules between my wife and I. I have no idea how it would be possible with an ex. I am sure it is very hard.

I am sorry to hear that stuff like that happens to you guys. That is just terrible. I think ignoring people with closed minds is the best thing you can do.

Lately we haven't had anything like that. I still have a wall to repaint from the last time my daughter colored on the wall with permanent marker. I am just waiting to make sure she is through with that phase.

I won't let my daughter wear makeup. I think she is too young. So now she is using markers for make up! She says it is just coloring and non toxic!

Have your kids ever gone through a phase where it seemed like they did not respect you or your wife? If so, how did you deal with this situation.

I think you might be right Blake. It is almost as if he resents the kids for keeping his wife so busy. He has an office at home, no strike that he has two. One in the basement and one in an out building he has. He is not home much, gone about 12 hours a day, but doesn't work that many. He tends...

My best friend is a step dad. He has no kids of his own and this is his first marriage. He became a step dad at 52 years old kids are 6, 10 and 12. He has been a step dad for 3 years now yet feels in total shock about parenting. A lot of the stuff he complains about is just part of being a dad...

I have been choosing drink Coronas with lime. For some reason it has been tasting really good to me. It is because many of my friends are from Mexico and that is what they drink and how they drink it.

The subtitles on my TV are in Spanish! I have no idea how that happened and I can't get them back to English. Has anyone else had a problem like this?

I have had a head ache for the past two days and it is making it hard to focus. It is not a whole lot of pain but it has lasted long enough to make me feel pretty badly.

My kids just got home from school and were telling me everything they learned about clouds. They learned the 4 main types and new stuff I had no idea about! Did they teach this when I was a kid and I forgot? Or do they teach more to kids today?
