Do You Hold Family Meetings?
The family that eats together, stays together, right? While dinners often serve as a family meeting of sorts, some busy broods pencil in a separate meeting time in hopes of improving family communication, conflict resolution, and discussing other issues that may come up. The digital age of emailing, cell phones, and social networking has made it possible for many families to interact without coming face-to-face with one another.
Ever Left a Dirty Diaper For Someone Else to Change?
Parenting is a dirty job, but someone has to do it. When it comes to diapering, many parents use the rule, "He who smelt it, changes it," which usually has both sides equally elbow deep in soiled nappies. However, some sneaky (and tired) mamas and papas looking to score a break from diaper duty have admitted to leaving a stinky one for their counterpart to find and change.

Eventually, the cramps will return along with the tampons, pads, and PMS.
Man in the Mirror or Plain Old Ultrasound?
Ultrasounds can provide parents a mixed bag of emotions. Initially, parents are psyched to see their wee one in the womb — even if he does look like a tiny tadpole. As the weeks progress and his face starts to form, the images can start to look a little freaky deaky, if not adorable.
