Where my priorities lie

Being a parent I am looking at what I think is going to be best for my children. I see our politicians going around debating over some of the dumbest things ever. I see people upset over Janet Jackson showing her breast. I see people trying to define marriage and other aspects of life best left to... Sign in to see full entry.

Don't have kids because it is your duty

It seems to be the style of the day. My sister is one of them. People go and have kids because it is their 'Duty to their family'. They don't want children and after having the kids do everything they can to not be part of the child's life. Everything the child does stresses them out and they make... Sign in to see full entry.

I don't want to eat my vegetables

I really, really am not a vegetable eater. I am not just talking about not liking them, I am serious when I say there are some vegetables that make me gag just by the smell of them. They will make me sick to my stomach. My wife on the other hand love them all it seems. So far we are lucky and it... Sign in to see full entry.

Don't play ball inside

The other day I was shopping. I saw two boys kicking around a kickball in the middle of the store. Now that in itself is nothing, my friends and I were that bad when we were young. What bothered me was their grandmother sitting back watching them do this. I guess she did not understand the term... Sign in to see full entry.

I just want to sleep in

During the week I ma the first one up in the house. I go around and wake everyone else up so that they can go and start to get ready for the day. My wife is normally the hardest of the family members to get going. My not yet a year old is the easiest. So then we get to the weekends. My chance to get... Sign in to see full entry.

Winnie the Pooh is a poor role model

I really, really can not stand Winnie the Pooh. None of it is educational or even close to be entertaining. It is just stupid. But it is cute, so kids like it and misguide women like it. But it is just stupid. I could point out all the sexual issues that should be obvious to everyone, but I won't.... Sign in to see full entry.

Some times you have to tell your kid he/she sucks

They suck, and they suck hard core. They leave in tears after being told that they suck. Outside their parents are... Sign in to see full entry.

A sick nine month old

I have been thrown up on twice so far today. Yes, our little guy is sick and I am right now typing while holding him. Very hard trick to do, and you have to bend at some interesting angles in order to keep him away from the keyboard. I think I said it in another blog, but it is so hard to watch your...

Teaching a Child about Death

Some of you may have read my posts in other Blogs about my uncle and his cancer. Right now he has only been given about two more weeks to live. He is not himself. They are keeping him highly drugged so he does not feel the pain. They are not going to put him on any machine or such to keep his body... Sign in to see full entry.

Keeping up with it all

We got the four year old, who runs around like crazy and doesn't listen. Then we have the nine month old who is getting way too good at crawling. It keeps a person very busy. The crawler is getting under foot all the time now. I think he may be trying to kill me from the amount of times he has... Sign in to see full entry.
