Cross-posted over at RomanCatholicByChoice.com My wife brought to my attention a story making the rounds on the boards at Mothering.com. A lady and 8 of her kids were at Applebee’s in Lexington, KY, June 14. She had her 7-month-old with her, and he needed a snack. Being a breastfeeder, she began nursing, and her waitress [...]

My DW sent along a link to an eBay auction to me. Here’s the first paragraph of the description of the Pokemon cards up for bid: I’m selling a bunch of Pokemon cards. Why? Because my kids sneaked them into my shopping cart while at the grocery store and I ended up buying them because [...]

Crossposted at RomanCatholicByChoice H/T to Curt Jester – Australia’s Cardinal Pell says Catholic Schools should: “re-examine how they might maximise enrolment of Catholic students”.

Some months ago I posted on a couple of articles on how the environmental extremist movement was pushing the perpetual lie about overpopulation, tying it in with the idea that having too many children is environmentally irresponsible. Well, here we have another such article, once again praising the benevolent Chinese government for their “solution” to [...]

Believe it? A researcher says that your baby learns how to lie to you at 6 months old, initially by crying when nothing is wrong to see what will happen. Then it evolves from there. Certainly, I have seen my two-year-old being deliberately deceptive – if she goes into another room and is doing something [...]

Following up to his post yesterday, Gerald at The Cafeteria is Closed has posted asking about how we discipline our kids, sharing stories of how he was disciplined as a kid, etc. I along with others have posted a good bit there (interestingly, Catholic Wife and Mother hasn’t commented there…)

My lovely and gracious wife alerted me to this, so I decided to throw a post up about it. For those of you whose kids were born in the hospital, and I know that’s most of us, you probably remember receiving a “free” sample bag from one of the major baby formula companies. Nice bag, [...]

Okay, maybe I am anomalous, but my dad said a few odd things that stuck with me, and also carried some of my and my sister’s early pronunciations long after we learned to talk; for example, I called a vacuum cleaner a keemo, my sister called ice cream otts moo. My dad would sometimes “slip [...]
