10 Before Having Baby, Did You Practice Parenting on a Pet?
The sack of flour or egg experiment of the '80s has given way to electronic dolls and video games, but the concept of caring for a baby is the same. While some couples decide to jump right into parenthood, others test their paternal or maternal skills on an animal first. From fish to lizards to cats and dogs, there are lots of great family pets. Did you partake in this practice? Before Read more
Lots of stars come out when Justin Bieber sings! The teen heartthrob took to the stage on the big screen yesterday with everyone from Will.i.am to Heather Locklear in the audience for his Never Say Never 3D film premiere. But it was also a family affair with lots of celebrities bringing their kids to see the pop star's movie. Check out pictures of those who attended. Read more
Domestic violence shatters family life. And, why should the victims — especially innocent children and their mothers — live in fear? This morning on The View, the hosts were talking about the use of GPS monitoring on batterers. Do you think the government should institute this policy in an attempt to further protect kids? Should GPS Locators Be Put on Domestic Violence Offenders? Read more
From carpools to free snacks and babysitting during PTA meetings, some schools offer small perks so parents can actively participate in their children's education. My daughter's school even has a program that provides eighth graders to babysit your children (free of charge, the students get community service hours) during the school's annual fundraiser. Do you think these types of conveniences Read more
The picture of the all-American family that lives in the house with a picket fence has long included a mom, dad, and two children. Most restaurants have tables for four readily available. When mamas and papas choose to have two offspring, they are never outnumbered. Notable parents of multiples, from Jon Gosselin to Rebecca Romijn, have said that the world is made for pairs. The former was Read more
Although her demonstration at the Food & Wine Classic was first thing on Saturday morning, Giada de Laurentiis was full of bubbly energy. In front of a huge audience she cooked three dishes — fregola salad with citrus and red onion, prosciutto lamb burgers, and a ricotta cappuccino dessert — while answering questions from the crowd. Now that she's a mother, it's very clear that Giada is Read more
A friend and I were talking about taking our four kids on a four-hour flight to visit another friend. All of our children are under five so that sense of panic set in even entertaining the idea of being in the air that long with a bunch of youngsters. Then, for a split second, I dared to dream about a child-friendly carrier that not only tolerated tots, but targeted them. An airline that Read more
Perhaps because he's a father and husband or just a moral man, Democratic candidate Barak Obama said that families are off-limits in this presidential race. CNN reported: "Let me be as clear as possible," Obama said. "I think people's families are off-limits, and people's children are especially off-limits. This shouldn't be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin's performance as Read more
Back in our parents' and grandparents' days, having half a dozen children wasn't all too unusual. In fact, some moms and dads had offspring into the double digits. Now, it seems that those instances are far and few between, with many couples maxing out at two kids. But when we polled readers about having lots of tots, 34 percent said they'd welcome the idea, while seven percent said they would Read more
Last week a few of us were talking about how difficult it is to get our parents' recipes. My mom and dad both tend to eyeball things, and when I ask them how much they usually say, "Eh, just a little, not too much." Each time I go home, I watch my mom prepare dishes and take notes, sometimes even video. It's tedious, but I know that I now have those recipes in hand. The family recipes mean a Read more
