    Fruits and Vegetables

    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...

    What To Do About Certain Information

    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...

    How Long Do They Watch?

    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.

    Wife Not A Nice Person

Although she was the one who left me and took the kids and everything we owned in the middle of the night while I was at work, I have moved on.

    Son Going Down The Wrong Way

    I have a son that I'm afraid is going down the wrong road. He has already gotten three women pregnant and is separated from his third wife. I don't know what to do with him. He's 40 so technically, I can't do anything. But I do wonder about what I did when he was growing up that makes him...

    Visitation

    Visitation is horrible. It's another word for "I'll never see my kids again". If you are in a situation like I am, the kids live full time with the ex-wife and she puts you down as often as possible to the kids. It's not fair to the kids to put them in this type of situation but what do you do?:(
