We have been planning a garden all winter and are getting ready to buy all of the things we need. I have hoes, shovels, rakes, etc, but no tiller. I'm going to go to buy one of the small ones so the boys can help with the tilling. Is anyone else getting ready to grow a garden this year?

My wife and I have been asked to be chaperones for this year's Prom. I'm not to keen on doing it though. Would I or my wife be responsible if something happened to one of the kids? I know someone always manages to do something they shouldn't. It's just a fact of being a teen.

Well, I got a call today from the school. My youngest boy had been in a fight. He was in trouble but not from me. There was a bigger kid who had been aggravating him for a while and we tried everything. So I told him the next time the kid tripped him or was punching on him to go for it. He...

I have absolutely stayed sick all winter this winter. I have done several courses of antibiotics which I don't like to do even. We have done everything from buying an air filter to buying a water filter. My immune system is a wreck for some reason and I don't have a clue why.

Well, it's almost here again! It's almost fishing season! I can't wait to get my hook down to those beautiful little fishes who can't wait to jump on my plate. I am seriously in need of a fresh fish fry!

My kids get an allowance according to their age. I expect them to use this money for their "extras" such as entertainment. If they save it then they are fine. If not, they won't have enough money for going to the movies or buying a CD they want. My 14 year old gets $20 a week and I think that's...

Well, I got up yesterday morning to get ready for work and found my little girl had been up for a while. She told me she was hungry and was "making dinnew". She had gotten down a brand new 5 pound bag of flour and several eggs out of the refrigerator along with a gallon of milk and dumped it all...

Since my little one is just around me most of our spare time, she has become a tom boy. She doesn't want to wear girl clothes or shoes and she want's to make sure I buy her boy's shoes and boy's clothes. My mother is aghast at the thought but I don't think it's a problem since she's little...

Ok, I am stumped. My little girl is supposed to be in the church play as an angel and they want her hair to be curly. Does anyone know anything about curling a little almost 4 year old girl's hair?

I just found out I've got high cholesterol. I've got to go on a diet and take pills. I am floored because I'm still young but I do have a family history of heart disease and high cholesterol.

My little one is constantly busy from the time she gets up in the morning until the time she lays down for a nap, then up and going again until bedtime. Who knew having a little girl in the house meant never having the ability to sleep in again. She wakes me up with kisses, which is sweet but I...

My daughter has been complaining lately about having a sore throat (in so many words). I took her to the doctor and he says she has thrush. She's never around anymore children so how did she get this?

I just read this story about a couple of kids having a bake sale and a councilman comes by and seeing the bake sale asked the young men for their license. Since they didn't have one, he calls the cops! Sounds a bit excessive to me-he's got to have better things to do that to bust a bake sale...

My neighbor gave me a butternut squash the other day. I always take whatever they offer because they are so sweet to me and my daughter. Sometimes I pass it on and sometimes not. But I don't know what a squash is like since Mom never cooked anything like this. I've heard they can be quite good...

It's already starting. My exes family wants to have the baby on Christmas day and my Mom and Dad want us there of course. I hate to disappoint my exes family but I can manage a short visit and that's going to be that. I feel like I'm shortchanging them but it's already starting to be a problem.

So we were having dinner tonight and my 3 year old daughter looks at me and tells me "Daddy, I have to have a dress". I asked her what she was talking about and she said "I need a dress". I still didn't understand so I told her so. So she goes and gets her "Beauty and the Beast" video and shows...

That is me, not her. When I put her to bed at 7-8 pm, I almost go to bed too. I'm so tired since she's come to stay with me. Is this normal? Should a three year old be able to wear out a grown man? I tell you, if Iraq were bombarded with three year olds we wouldn't have to win the war, they'd be...

I brought my baby home the other night after work and we played and talked. I made supper and she wouldn't eat. I talked to her and tried to cajole her into eating. That didn't work. I sternly told her to eat or Dad was going to have to put her in time out. She cried and cried and cried. She...

My mother and father have been helping me out with my three year old by keeping her during the day when I'm working. But I don't want to take advantage of their good nature. I sure don't want them to worry about taking care of the baby all of the time. But how do I find reliable day care for my...

How do you tell if a three year old is getting an ear infection. She has been picking at her ears all day long. She doesn't have a fever but she has had a snotty nose for several days. She does have seasonal allergies too but she's on medicine for that. Anyone?
