Since my daughter has been born I’ve aged significantly. I also completely acknowledge the fact that I’ve been somewhat removed and sheltered since I’ve been married. At one time in my life, well actually for most of my life, I was the one that had to have the latest fashion....

Kids with perfect attendance freak me out.
I'm not talking about the kids with one stellar year but rather the ones who don't miss a day of school their entire school career.
Californian columnist Robert Price talked to one of these kids recently. (Read "13 years without missing school?...

Listening to your parents talk to you about sex probably ranks high on the lifetime ick-o-meter.
I can remember my mom launching into it while I was sitting with her and a bunch of her friends in our kitchen. She said, "You're becoming a young woman now." I said, "Oh no,"......

Help! My very smart, very self-assured 4-year-old daugther just spilled the beans on the Easter Bunny to her entire preschool class.
The teacher tried to brush over it, but after the class she pulled my wife to the side and implied in the nicest way that we need to get with the program and buy...

This song is a story about a father helplessly witnessing his daughter's first broken heart. It is something many fathers and mothers fear, and go out of their way to protect their daughter's from, but somethings are inevitable. Eventually children have to experience personal...

Well, it's happening again. Another step toward American irresponsibility, super profits of medical care and a step toward the time when taxpayers will foot the bill for parent's abuse and neglect of their children. I am not speaking of beatings or sexual abuse, I am talking about childhood...

Update. More and continued thanks for your concern and sound advice. I have actually been checking into a personal counselor for my daughter. The one we decided upon took forever to get back to us and then could only fit her in during school hours. We went back and forth trying to make an...

My wife insisted we rush out after work last night to pick up the newly released T.M.X. Elmo, the new version of Tickle Me Elmo, before it sold out. After opening the packaging, which instructed us not to peak in Elmo's voice, my almost 2 year old daughter set out jumping up and down in...
