Jill points us to yet another article about the daycare and bad behavior study. However, this post at Slate is a different take on the situation.
“The Kids Are Alright -What the daycare study really found” is a balanced, and, careful analysis of the study heard round the world this week about daycare being correlated to […]

As I rushed from work to the dentist today to make my requested “late in the day” appointment (”Sure, we can do late. How about 2?”), I thought, “I wish there was dentist office with evening hours”.
Then I realized that even if I had a dentist with evening hours, I probably couldn’t get there because […]

You may wonder why I haven’t commented on what would seem to be the ultimate working parent topic: daycare causes delinquent children, or, whatever the twist of the day is.
I’ve thought about it, but, I just can’t do it. Well, actually, I’m doing it, now, aren’t I? But, you know what I mean.

And, yet again, I have a sick child on the first day back from a vacation.
There’s a nasty stomach virus going around, and, I was naive enough to believe that it wouldn’t affect us even after Busy Girl’s friend got sick on their Spring Break trip, and, had to go home after getting sick. […]

In my head, we have nicely done photo albums for each child that are also duplicated and preserved online.
Also, in my head (see why there’s not room for much else in there?), I’ve enlarged and framed all those classic pictures to reflect the time of our lives, and, we have a set of DVDs […]

Short of employing the Lunch Clock, if you are lucky enough to get a break at work, there’s never enough time.
While everyone enjoys a break, parents in particular are often grateful for the extra time to try to do a few things you can’t get done at home.

It’s Spring Break for a lot of people this week, and, though I’m all for vacation, I’m also finding it hard to get anything done in the workplace because no one is around.
What used to be a time that a few people took off for childcare reasons, or, to spend a day or two with […]

Now this is odd.
(Stalkers, and, potential stalkers, don’t read)
My family is gone overnight tonight. I don’t have to do the all too familiar to working parents, “Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go”, thing after work.
No, not the potty, I mean the mad dash to get home to feed/wash/catch various children, animals, and, household items. […]
