I caught an interesting article the other day regarding a study from the University of Cambridge that said “most Britons believe that family life suffers if women work, prompting headlines about the death of ‘Supermum’.”
Ooooh… that word…. “supermom.” It makes me cringe. Because WHY does it always seem to be the women that deal with […]
It’s an age old debate in the workplace: Do parents get more time off than non-parents?
I don’t know if there’s an answer to that question or not, really.
I do know, that since I’ve had kids, I feel like I’m asking for and explaining myself a lot more often, but, at my workplace, I don’t […]
Most full time working parents try to spend more time with their kids on the weekend. What do you do when emergency projects come up? Find ways to include them.
This weekend the toilet broke. It was actually just a little reocurring leak that I got tired of fixing. So, I decided […]
Christmas is a religious holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus. It seems like there are two main things that get celebrated during Christmas. Jesus and Commercialism.
If your family is not particularly religious, can you enjoy Christmas without getting overly commercial.

Are you finding time to go to your kids plays at school? Have you been to each of their basketball games this year?

Despite working full time, you still need to make time for the mundane things. Pick […]
What do you do when you have been cooped up in the house for most of the week and you get hammered with 6-10 inches of snow?
Snowball fight!
I’m taking on the kids tomorrow (technically later today I guess). They might only be 4, but there are two of them and I’m sure their mom […]
I’m quite the computer dungeon junkie now that I have been working from home for a few weeks. When I do crawl out of the dungeon in the middle of the day, the kids normally want to hang on to me for a little while.
Our daughter seems to start being more stuborn with my […]
We started a once a week movie night with the kids a few weeks back. It helps us stay away from TV before they go to bed most of the week. We are also starting on transition into longer movies. Our daughter has no problem, but our son’s attention span doesn’t make […]
Treena Shapiro writes about “family-friendly pubs and child-friendly bar and grills.” and says:
Apparently parents don’t want to have to make the choice between spending time with their kids and giving up more adult-type social activities, so they’re taking their kids with them when they go drinking.
I always think it is strange when I see parents […]
Our holiday travelling group is increasing by one tomorrow. While visiting my wife’s family, we (and more importantly his parents) officially decided that we would bring my nephew home to spend the night.
Tomorrow, we are going to visit my family and my nephew’s parents are going to tackle the crazy Christmas rush. He is one […]
