My husband is a big kid — he can't resist climbing on the playground structures with our son and daughter or hold back when he takes them to the toy store. More often than not, a trip for one small trinket becomes an all out shopping spree.

While I was at the park the other day, I got to chatting with a stay-at-home dad about playground politics. He said he doesn't reach out to help children get off the jungle gym or spot them on the monkey bars because he feels like most of the moms keep an eye on him thinking he's some sort of a predator.

An Ohio judge threw the book at a dad whose daughter has not received her GED. Brian Gegner was sentenced to six months in jail for contributing to the delinquency of a minor — his child Brittany who has a history of truancy. Despite the fact that the woman is now nearly 19 years old, a mother of an 18-month-old daughter and living with her fiancé at her mother's house, the father was charged because he had custody of her when the problems began.
