That's pretty cool JamesMichael. I loved going with the kids to their sports and think it's important to their education as humans. They have to learn to play according to the rules, they have to learn to cooperate and get along with others and the physical activity is something they will need...

We didn't have the option when my kids were born. I would have done it though. I didn't even get to be in the delivery room. When my kids were born, the dads stayed in the lobby and waited. I would have loved to have been there but it just wasn't allowed.

I know that dietitians have now set a standard of 4 servings of fruit or vegetables a day. I know my grandchildren will eat fruit but how much luck are the rest of you had at getting them to eat vegetables? Mine won't eat anything but mashed potatoes for a vegetable. Nothing with any color...

My father was a stay at home father also. He was disabled and took care of me before I went to school. He was also the one who picked me up from school and cooked all of our meals. My mother of course worked outside of the home and brought home the bacon so to speak.

One of my sons was an expert liar. Unfortunately, he still is. We tried every type of punishment we could think of and none of it worked. We were very active in church and he knew it was wrong. I don't know why he continued. We would take away every privilege he had and it still made no...

When I was raising my kids, we did all of the children's sports. Of course we had baseball, football and basketball. At that time there was no soccer, but both boys were in all three at one time or another and our daughter was in baseball and basketball on the girls teams since they did...

When we were raising ours, we would take a small toy and let them play and then help them to eat their food. As far as screaming, if they started that we would take them outside until they calmed down and then come back.

First let me say, I am not a saint. I have lived and honestly a lot of what I've done, I am not proud of. I would rather my grandchildren and my 2 year old did not find out a lot of what I did in my youth until they are old enough to understand. However, my ex has decided that we all need to...

Don't forget about MySpace too. I keep up with my grandchildren by my first wife that way. I've told my son many things about his children he didn't know until I told him. I hate to be sneaky but unless you are checking things out, you wouldn't believe what these kids put on these social...

You really have to prove the mother is unfit in that case. Even in this day of so called "equality" the woman will usually get custody unless you have a very good case. Good luck man. I wish you all the best.

I changed as many or more than my wife did and still do with this one. The first three my ex was always "sick" and didn't feel like caring for the baby so she would either have her mother or her sister's at the house when I came home. After I got there I would cook dinner and take care of the...

I wish she would get married. We unfortunately meet at the grandchildren's functions and she is so nasty. I would love for her to have some focus other than my wife and I. I don't know why she is still doing this, we've been apart more than 10 years and yet she still will do everything she...

We named our first son after me with a different middle name and we used his middle name as the name we called him. Our second son was named after both of our grandfathers. Our daughter was named a name we both agreed upon. The 2 year old is named a name my 2nd wife and I agreed upon. And...

How long do you let the kids watch TV? I will only let my 2 year old watch TV for about an hour a day. Then we go with the play instead of a lot of TV time. I think creative play is much better for him than the TV.

I like the kid's TV shows. SpongeBob cracks me up. My two year old loves it and so do I. We sit and watch it together a lot because I'm retired.

That's a hard question to answer. If you just get every other weekend, why don't you suggest that she bring her girlfriend with her to your house? That would kill two birds with one stone and you would still get your visitation.

He can be so infuriating and he is absolutely makes the worst decisions in the world. I have helped him to fill out numerous job applications and he will never follow up on them. I think he just wants to live on his family's dime for the rest of his life. Unfortunately, we are about to...

I broke myself of this habit long ago. I also will tell my wife when she is right which is harder to do than it sounds. I don't want to spend my remaining years being a horrible dad to my little one like I was to the older ones.

Well, my youngest is 2. My oldest has a 18 year old and he (the 18 year old) is living with us too. The 2 year old eats what we eat. The 18 year old either eats what we have or he can make his own. I don't care as long as my wife doesn't have to fix double meals for him. Unfortunately, my...

We have a 18 year old grandson who has come to live with us because he can't get along with our son who is his father. Although we enjoy his company, he is of the opinion that he doesn't have any rules since he is 18. I've told him it's my house and he has to follow my rules. If he doesn't...
