  Those precocious kids!  Maybe they have been playing too many driving video games.  Maybe television isn't the best babysitter after all.  Whatever the case, more and more kids are forsaking the Big Wheel for the real deal, and it isn't always ending poorly.   Read More...

• Have a C-Section? Pay Higher Insurance Premiums

  To add insult to injury, some women have to pay higher health insurance premiums after having c-sections, according to a report in today's New York Times. As more and more people are no longer covered by employer-covered group health insurance, they might be surprised to find that finding individual coverage is more of a challenge. And apparently, this is especially so if you've had a c-section.   Read More...

• Did VF "Groom" Miley Cyrus?

  All joking aside, this business of Miley's half-naked pictures in Vanity Fair is raising quite a kafuffle.  And this fills me with great hope.  In a culture where young girls are modeling at 12, and being pushed into adulthood by age 13, it starts to feel like fighting to keep our girls Bratz and low-cut jeans free and innocent might be a losing battle. But Gawker suggests that something even more evil is going on here.    Read More...

• Single Mothers and the Power of One

  "Marry someone.

Leave it to the Brits to celebrate, or at least happily acknowledge that many single parent households are quite happy, thank you very much.   Read More...

• World's Shortest Memoir: Miley Cyrus Tell-All?

  I was born in in 1992 (or whenever) in Tennessee.  I love horses and makeup and boys and Facebook.  My fans are so kickin.  I was rocked to sleep each night with Daddy singin' "Achy Breaky Heart."  My Daddy used to have a mullet and now it's all grown out so he's hawt. My Mom is trippin and I like to sing and kiss boys and wear cute underwear. But Dad and Mom or so totally rude.  They won't give me MY money or let me and my new boyfriend post pictures of ourselves on the Web.    Read More...

• Are You a VSP (Very Serious Parent)?

  Parenting is very serious.  If you screw up (like give your kids non-organic food or let them watch more than 5 minutes of television), they'll never graduate high school and forever work at McDonald's as a manager.  Or worse.  Work as an ER social worker on contract!   No health insurance, no retirement, nothing to look forward to since they won't be having children (because of global warming), and won't get married until they're 50. If you're just convinced of any of the following, I'm afraid you might just be a VSP:   Read More...

  Mother's Day isn't for a few more weeks, but I'm already dreading it.  And I'm not the only one.  Say for some reason you don't care for Mother's Day.  Maybe you don't have any kids.  Maybe you think it's just a meaningless overcommercialized holiday.  Maybe you don't have the time, money, or inclination to worry about it.   Since ignoring the day altogether is not recommended, particularly for the mama's partner, here are 5 alternatives to Mother's Day that won't leave you feeling like you were just licked by the Hallmark aisle:   Read More...

  Take a look at this picture.  Slim lines, sweaty and taut, probably post-coital.  Perhaps Mom and Dad after fighting about who needs to pick up Billy from daycare?  Likely not...   Everyone knows the only people fighting about parenting philosophies are mommies. Not parents (and certainly not parents who look like this).  Mommy Wars imply that the only people fighting and disagreeing about raising chilluns are women, when in fact the real war is between parents.   Read More...
