You should probably know by now that I missed out on the disciplinarian gene when they were giving it out at parent school. The rest of that feeding, diapering stuff, I can manage just fine but it’s becoming apparent that I’m not very much good at making them do what I say. And kids are »

There was a time when I was whining about how I got nobody to talk to all day because I’m stuck with 2 babies who communicate in a series of high-pitched shrieks in various frequencies. Then when I finally managed to crack the baby code to figure out about 80% of what they were saying, »

Tru had his first encounter with a bully a couple of days ago. He was at a playgroup with a bunch of other kids his age, running around and doing his kid thing while I was busy fiddling with my iPhone. I heard him crying so I ran over just in time to see him »

One time we brought Tru to the beach and we came across some flowers growing under a tree so I started getting all excited like “Tru, look, there are flowers!“. I should probably preface this by saying that this little sensitive guy of mine loves flowers. A lot. The very first word he said clearly »

Quirks, we all have them. A peculiarity of behavior that we can’t explain or understand, really. Some are cute, others weirdishly charming and some downright bizarre. Most of mine were acquired during childhood and they have been honed to perfection these 20-some years. I can control them if I need to (like when I’m trying »

So I’m a little behind on the toilet training. Which is to say that both kids are still safely clad in their nappies all day and all night. Its not for a lack of trying either, especially since I’m not exactly a huge fan of the diaper-poop-cleaning business.
I’d much prefer to have them to do »

First of all, who am I to dictate parenting norms? The answer would be nobody, but I’m still going to dish out unsolicited parenting advice anyway because that always makes me feel much better about my Mondays and also, I am that kind of douchebag. Read on, I think you’ll feel better too. Unless you »

Every time I read a new parenting theory, I try to take it with a pinch of salt, mostly because the next time I come back to the same bookshelf, there’s a new authority with a new revolutionary breakthrough discovery in parenting.
The obsessive parents are up-to-date with the all latest parenting fads, citing studies on »

Here’s a thought. Are parents allowed to have favorites? The politically correct answer is probably no because every kid is special and favoritism is BAD. But really, do parents have a secret preference that nobody else knows about?
I used to look at parents with multiple kids and one of them is often way cuter, funnier »

You probably know by now that I’m not a big fan of numbers, especially when you string a lot of them together at one time. Anything past 100 and my head starts to hurt. I say, give me words and pictures any day.
Tru loves to count though, so I’m hoping he’ll turn out to be »
