I previously posed the question if parents had to choose one, would they prefer their children to see nudity or violence in television and movies. The results were rather one sided, with 90% of respondents indicating that they would prefer nudity to violence. (Please feel free to weigh in if you have not already.)

I’ve mentioned before that my wife and I try to pay particular attention to the foods we eat while she is pregnant to make sure the baby is getting everything he needs and nothing he doesn’t. Apparently there are more links between a pregnant woman’s diet and a child’s health than I was aware.

The National Fatherhood Initiative has a listing of the top fatherhood facts. As I looked over the list I was immediately struck by how negative the list is. It focuses primarily on the side effects of bad fathers and broken homes rather than the positive influence of involved and caring dads. I’m just rather […]
It is no doubt that after having 5 kids I have all the time in the world to play. I gain hours of reading time, coloring, and even stacking blocks. What else did I gain? A few pounds.

OK so the joke is on me. No I do not own a hot tub and yes I have 5 kids under the age 7. So am I a walking case study? Who knows. But thanks to Fertility Blog for pointing out a recent study done which took 11 men and monitored their behavior and […]
Well some people may not be terribly shocked but apparently parents have less sex. The question is less sex than what… or who? There is more sex going on prior to when a baby is born. Thanks to Kate Bagott and hlei for discovering this article and posting it because I can’t see it unless […]
I always used to pick fun at the idea that children are the way they are because of their parents. I mean I knew it to be true to a certain degree but what bugged me were the people who were caught committing these horrible crimes and then turning around to say it was because […]
