Taking family time to another level

Sometimes a grudge comes up for seemingly no reason . Someone just starts to treat you differently and you have no idea what happened. You rack your brain for reasons you might have spited them and you come up empty. Did you fail to wave back at them on the street one day? Did you accidentally say something off-color at a party?

As any parent can tell you, parenting is a full-time job . It may not pay the bills, but it sure takes a lot out of you.

That's why parents pay good money for babysitters and nannies. They deserve t…

Gender reveals are always a dubious idea . At worst, they literally start wildfires. At best, they're random celebrations.

You can't be disappointed in the news if you're going to find out in a public setting. You're setting yourself up for failure. Crying at your own gender reveal is like crying at your own vow renewal.

Baby bro needs to be held accountable

The baby said, "oh, get my good side!"

"The money was in a sealed account until kiddo was 18 and they couldn't access it if they wanted to."
