One of the rules my wife and our kids follow is that no one answers the phone when it's dinner time. That's because it's our time to get caught up on what others are doing. Caller ID makes it nice, too.

How did you learn to be a dad? I majored in child psych in college but after I had kids, I realized everything I learned in college was useless. LOL

How did you come to decide to become a stay-at-home-dad? What kind of adjustment did you have to make to staying at home instead of going to work? Any regrets?

We like to set aside one day of the week where we just do things as a family. Phone calls are ignored and cell phones are turned off. If we're at home and someone shows up at the door, we politely tell them to go away. :) What do you do?

Now that you are a dad, is it what you expected? Being a dad is one of the hardest things I've done but I love it and wouldn't change it for the world.

How many of you plan to get your colon checked when you turn 50? Because my dad died of colon cancer, I've already had two of them.
