YES IT'S AWFULLY HARD RAISING KIDS

especially when they're 31 years old and here you come all the way from St. Louis to spend time with them and they act like this: first he gets your step granddaughter into STAR WARS ----eecchhh!!! (actually I like it myself) and then when you're settled down watching Episode IV, you look up and... Sign in to see full entry.

HE NEEDED TO COMFORT ME

Yesterday I was working on fixing our dryer which is being real b!#$%^. Anyone who has worked with things made of sheet metal know just what it does to your hands if you are not really careful. Well I am not all that careful myself. So I got some cuts in my hands. Nothing serious. I clean them up... Sign in to see full entry.

HE IS SMARTER THAN HE PRETENDS TO BE

So last night our two year old is getting into things. We tell him to pick it up. He just roams away and starts playing with other things. My wife tells him to get back over there and pick up the mess he made. He keeps on playing. So I ask him “What did mommy tell you to do?” He says very clearly... Sign in to see full entry.

NOT EVERYONE NEEDS TO HAVE KIDS

I wrote a post yesterday talking about this guy I used to work with who claimed he believed nothing was more important than family yet does not seem happy at all with his children. I’ve seen him yell at them and be quick to anger over the little things kids do. More then likely this guy really has... Sign in to see full entry.

THE FRIENDS' NEW BABY

Some friends of ours just had their third child. They are three for three with girls. I feel sorry for the guy. He is at some point going to have three teenage daughters, which is something I could picture driving anyone mad. They were over the other night and I went and held the new born. At first...

TWO YEAR OLDS SHOULD NOT BE THAT SMART

We literally can not turn our backs on our two year for a moment. He is way too smart and sneaky for his age. He has figured out how to open the child stay locks both at home and at day care. Once he sets his mind on getting something, he just does not stop and will figure out way to do it. He is... Sign in to see full entry.

NOW THAT WAS GOOD START TO MY AFTERNOON

I ma not sure where it came form but my five year old has had an interest in the Fantastic Four for a little while now. I am a huge Marvel Comics fan, but have never really been big on the FF myself, although there was a point when I was picking up just about every Marvel Comic out there and FF was...

PLAYING WITH THE SLIP AND SLIDE

So yesterday we were over at my sister’s. She had gone and gotten a Slip and Slide. The kids loved it. Now my two year old just wanted to walk through the water a little bit and then would run away. My five year old would do the whole run and jump thing and make it about halfway down the slide. My... Sign in to see full entry.

LOOK WHAT I HAVE, LOOK WHAT I HAVE

So last night the two boys are playing. The get out this music set that has simple musical instruments in it. Right away they end up fighting over the drumsticks. I fix the problem by giving each of them one drum stick, explaining that that is all they need. It did not take long for our five year... Sign in to see full entry.

WE ARE WORRIED FOR OUR FIVE YEAR OLD

We have always had some problems getting him to talk to us and tell us what is bothering him, but last night he really got bad. I had caught him in a lie and so we sent him to his room. When my wife went in to check on him she found him saying ‘I hate my body’ over and over again. When she asked him... Sign in to see full entry.
