    Stay At Home Dads With Web Businesses

    Stay-at-home moms turned work-at-home moms have been a big part of online businesses for years. Do you think it's our turn now? I think that many fathers have been trying to carve out money-making niches for themselves in the online world, but they just don't get the attention that mothers do...

    Gas prices and staying at home

    I'm wondering if these crazy gas prices are going to give more fathers a reason to be stay at home dads. Working from home makes a lot more sense than spending a fortune on long commutes. It must be costing some people half of their paycheck just to pay for gas and car payments.

    Letting your kids play football

    I was watching a few minutes of a CNN medical special about football and brain injuries. For anyone who has boys who are old enough, do you let them play football? It's a sport that has some benefits, but I think they need to look at making changes so that it's safer. How do you feel about this?

    For an election that started out boring, this Republican primary is becoming "must-see TV." I had to laugh the other night when CNN was starting their coverage of the Missouri, Minnesota, and Colorado primaries. The very beginning of it with all the candidates made it look like the finale of...

    Cabin Fever?

    This winter has been so mild that we've already started enjoying the outdoors. We all get cabin fever, though, whether we're the parent or the child. What activities do you all most enjoy when spring finally arrives? We're planning to put up the badminton net. Playing Frisbee is another activity...

    Dogs Digging in the Yard

    I guess it's just their nature, but one of our dogs in particular is always digging. What's funny is that two of them have no interest at all in digging which is lucky for us. I'm starting to think that filling in the holes is a losing proposition. They keep gravitating back to the same old...

    Planning for Retirement

    With the economy like it is, just paying the bills is enough of a challenge. Right now, any IRA contributions I make are going to be small, but even a few dollars a month will be better than nothing. These financial websites talk about paying yourself first when it comes to building your...

    Role Models

    I'm basically a second parent to my niece. It worries me sometimes when she talks about these celebrities as if they are people she should emulate. I know that it's probably natural for young teenagers to go through this phase. Her mother feels like it's no big deal and just part of being a...
