Does Your Toddler Fit Through a Doggy Door? - Blog Entry

I agree Samual! In fact, it's been my experience that kids are naturally attracted to pet doors and would rather enter and exit a home through them than any other way.

BTW, your new home is lovely. Great pics in the forums. You must be thrilled to provide such an incredible home for your children. Though, I hope they all know how to swim b/c that pond looks a bit too inviting.

LOL Samual, I wonder how many boys experimented with hair removal products to look like their hero.

I think the kid with the toy knife should turn it on his parents instead of tormenting other children with it and then we'll see how hard they laugh.

Also, ditto about the LEGO. I feel the same way about my dd's little dolls. She loves them, but can't get their clothes on and off without help.

I don't get it either except that the company may be targeting kids that have everything--it may make a good gift??? BTW, Samual, I love that Pippa wears boys clothes!!!

Angry Dad Uses Pizza to Punish Kid - Blog Entry

Also, I highly doubt this guy is the first parent to throw pizza at his kid, it's just that the kid called 911 and reported it. Just goes to show you how much society has changed in the last few decades.

We don't know if the pizza hurt the child. Regardless, in Florida any "willful or threatened act that harms or is likely to cause harm" to a child will get you arrested. I pretty sure that includes spanking on a bare butt. Also, according to Florida law, abuse means "any willful act or threatened act that results in any physical, mental, or sexual injury or harm that causes or is likely to cause the child¿s physical, mental, or emotional health to be significantly impaired. Abuse of a child includes acts or omissions."

The pizza qualifies.

That's incredible! What smart individuals to come up with the idea to take photos with siblings!! Brilliant! I should pass that one along to my daughter's school administrators. Thanks for sharing, Samual. Great comment!!

I agree Samual and in some cases the parents act worse than the kids.

How much do your school photos cost Samual? Do you buy them? Are they worth it?

Maybe I should move to the UK. Seems like the living is better there... at least I feel that way when I read your comments Samual. I bet Pippa looks cute in anything you put her in. Also, I agree that some kiddie items are a ploy to bankrupt parents that can't say no.
