    Cheese

    If I was forced to choose one food to eat everyday it would be cheese. I can't get enough of it and try to find a new one to sample every couple of weeks. Any other cheese fiends out there?

    Sling or stroller?

    Or perhaps both? I am thinking a sling is better because I can get around town with the baby but my wife likes strollers more. I will say that I don't like the slings where the baby is behind the parent.

    TV time

    How much TV do you allow your kids? I limit it to an hour a day, though often they watch less as they prefer to do other things.

    How do you structure your day?

    I am quite interested in switching out with my wife so she can work for a while outside of the house. I will be able to take a semi sabbatical but would still need to do some paid work from home. I would like to know how you divide your time between child/house care and your own projects.

    How involved are you?

    Just wondering, to what extent you guys are (or have been) involved in the pre-natal process? Do you go to clinic appointments or birthing classes? My wife is leaving it up to me to decide how much I get to.

    Amazing surprise

    So last week I mentioned that my wife and I were talking about adding to our family with a shared biological child. Turns out my wife was waiting for test results to confirm her suspicions and yesterday she gave me the most amazing news. Yep - we are going to have a baby! :D

    Step grandparents

    Do your parents refer to your step children as 'step grandkids'? I don't tend to use the prefix as I feel it suggests a distance that is not my reality. My Mom used to use it but she has stopped now.

    Bagged lunches

    My oldest child usually eats lunch at school and I'm happy with what they serve there. The odd time he needs to take a bagged lunch and I always struggle between healthy food and not making him feel left out of the treats his friends share around. How do others manage this situation?

    Stocking up on medicines

    I really try to eat healthily and watch my alcohol intake all year but xmas tends to send me out of whack. I get indigestion from the rich food and headaches from the extra booze. I've just made sure our medicine box is fully functioning in preparation for the next few days!

    Best time to have a baby

    I have two lovely step kids and recently my wife and I have talked about having a baby of our own. We've been together quite a long time and are very settled. I feel it is now or never, as the children we share are still young. Am I being naive? Is it better to wait until they are more independent?

    Dealing with questions about their 'other' dad.

    I have two step children under eight. their biological father died when they were small and I have been in their lives for (in their perception) pretty much forever. We've never hidden the fact that I married their mother after they were born but recently the elder child has become curious. I am...
