What kinds of gifts are you asking for this Christmas? The gifts that I have been instructed to get are related to housekeeping and taking care of the kids. I think I might have to step outside of the list and find something just for her.

Do you ever get the kids toys that you played with when you were a kid? I decided to get a couple things for the kids for Christmas that remind me of my childhood. I know toys were simpler then but I think they are still enjoyable.

If a psychiatrist told you that one of your children should be on psychiatric meds, would you put your child on them? I know a family who is considering this right now and I am wondering what I would do if I were in their shoes. I was a teenager dealing with depression without meds and I wonder...

I got caught up watching Maury today and it got me wondering. If somebody told me that my kids weren't actually my biological children, would I want to know the truth? My answer is no. Biology doesn't matter. If I raise them, they are my kids.

Sometimes as a father you have to make hard choices. What is the toughest choice that you have had to make for the sake of your family? For me it was cutting off all contact with my brother, who I found to be no good. He was bringing everybody down, including himself. I couldn't be around it.

We just started watching this cartoon called Adventure Time. It's the most bizarre cartoon I have seen. It's strange enough for me to get into it and there are a lot of jokes that go over the kids' heads. I think I would watch this even if I didn't have kids.

It looks like a lot of churches this year are hosting 'Trunk or Treat' this year. I don't think it sounds like fun at all, but I'm sure a lot of people like it. Part of the fun of Halloween to me is always going house to house, taking a walk through the neighborhood and looking at the decorations.

I have seen so many different step-families and each one seems to work differently. I know that in some families the step-dad is just 'dad.' Sometimes they use the first name. What works in your family?

Occasionally I go to the comic shop. Yesterday a man and apparently his young son came in. The man was furious because they had sold him a comic book he didn't think was appropriate for his son. The man had just purchased it an hour earlier but apparently didn't notice that it came from the...

I don't usually watch Maury but I was flipping through channels today and saw they had a "wild teen mother" show. I can't imagine why people would ever agree to go on that show. It's all about train wrecks.

If you could live anywhere, where would you live? I am thinking somewhere green and rainy. Maybe Oregon or Washington. I have always loved visiting. I think I would love to live there.

I'm trying to give up drinking coffee so I've started drinking hot tea instead. I am learning that I really like green tea. I had really only thought of tea as being sweet and black before. I think tea is going to be a lot healthier for me than coffee and I don't feel guilty about drinking too...

How do you know if your kids are responsible enough to have a pet? In addition, what kind of pet do you think is best to start with? I go back and forth on the 2nd question. Hamsters and fish are so fragile. They can die easily and in my experience, they require a lot more work than a cat. A...

How do you make sure that rules are consistent at both houses that the kids spend time at? Do you collaborate with your ex to make sure that the kids have consistent rules?

Today I was watching Super Nanny (don't judge, there was nothing else on) and there was a terrible couple. They would paddle the kids and creepily say "trust and obey" then go to give the kids a hug but continue hitting them during the hug while. The parents would tell the kids they "forgave"...

Has anybody played LA Noire? It's not one to play when the kids are around but it's fun. You are a detective in Los Angeles, basically, and you investigate crimes. I love the soundtrack.
