Is your toddler better behaved when others are watching him?

My parents, my in-laws, my sisters-in-law, and a lot of folks who help us watch Meme tell us how obedient he is when we're not around. He listens. He does what he's told without being asked twice. He picks him his toys. He even picks up other kids toys. But the moment me or my wife show up, he gets whiny, demanding, and clingy? what's up with that? Why, oh, why, is this happening?

Becoming a new dad is challenging enough. What happens when you find out you're about to become the new dad of 2, 3 or more all at once? Well, once someone picks you up off the floor, you start to ask questions and get ready for the thrill of your life.

Tiger Woods and I are pretty similar

I'm not a golf fan, but I am a fan of art, and yesterday was a work of art for Mr. Tiger Woods. And it turns out that Tiger and I have that in common. Well, sorta. more

Help! I think my kid needs yoga!?

Not for me, I'm plenty "yoga-fied," but for our daughter, 31 months and as hyper as the day is long. Don't believe me? Come follow me on one daily dose of toddler insanity...more
