I Spank My Kids

Storm Trooper Spanking

Spanking is one of those issues in parenting that’s best not talked about unless you’re ready to hear some extremely vocal opinions. Just like “natural” birth. And breastfeeding. And bottle feeding. And circumcision. And daycare. And how much TV your kids watch. And candy. I’m going to stop now. Chances are good you’re a parent… Continue reading I Spank My Kids

Tucker and I were both dreading last night since we had convinced ourselves that last night was going to… Continue reading Road Trip and Puke

Actually, I don’t know how much easier things would have been but at least I would have had someone other than myself to bitch to. I’m fairly certain that Ollie has developed a couple of ear… Continue reading More Coffee, Please?
