It’s just an expression
Heart to hearts with your kids can be really special moments. There is nothing like helping iron out a specific imbroglio in that 10 to 500 seconds where screens or younger brothers are not screeching in the background. I can tell it is appreciated - even through a haze of blushed expression - … [Read more...]

Yes or No to Kid-Free Zones?!
How did I miss this story? I must have been distracted. A 'man' in the U.S. was charged with slapping a crying toddler on a flight.
