My aunt used to sell primerica life insurance. I'm like music-dad, there's nothing like a horribly desperate sales pitch to make me want to kill myself.

I try to stay away from these too. It kills me how so many people get involved with these rediculous posts. (I mean, isn't it obvious that any good parent would respect their child's right to mate with a grizzly?) :)

A friend of mine just started a reward program with her 5yo daughter where she earns Monopoly dollars for certain things - listening, sharing, helping her little sister with something - and she can trade her bucks in for rewards - like a trip to monkey joe's or the park or having a friend spend...

Natalie is just like Eli! She loves bath-time so much, but as soon as we put her out on her towel, she starts howling. So far all I've done is tried to be speed-racer at drying her off and dressing her, but I'm going to try the radio trick and see if that works. Thanks!

Yikes!!!

Teenagers are the spawn of satan. I aready dread my DD becoming one. I like music-dad's advice. It's the only way you can know he has homework to make him do it... I wish there were an easy way to convince 9th and 10th graders that what they do now can effect what they accomplish later. My...

rotfl! I needed that! :)

I've tried that, but my tolerance level for filth is much lower than my husband's. :)

My parents never checked out where we were spending the night, and later found out that my sister spent the night several times with a grade school friend who had alcoholic-absentee parents and a highscool-aged brother that is now in prison for raping his sisters. I do not trust anyone.

I worry my DH thinks gnomes are cleaning our house every day.
