Kinder – The Playdating App
Finding a good match isn’t just a challenge for adults. Most parents have had bad blind play dates, two sets of unpredictable little kids that turn out to be a circle peg in a square hole. Now, as they say in this age of modern wonder: there’s an app for that. Little kids […]
KidzPoop – Bad Product Idea
So, this may actually be a good product idea if you’re looking to become a millionaire fast, but not so much in terms of overall parenting, and raising kids that aren’t embarrassments in society. Anymore than they already may be. If you have a little kid, and haven’t yet experienced them replacing words in song […]
Expecto Harry Potter Land!
It was decided! We were off to Harry Potter world -ehem- I mean, Universal Studios Hollywood. My wife and I had visited through the years, but now we wanted to see Harry Po-… Um, share it with our son. Universal Studios provided my family with tickets, so it was only a matter of choosing WHEN. […]
Protect Your Kids AND Yourself
Parents have to protect their kids from harm all the time, and, ironically, they also have to protect THEMSELVES from their kids.

Are Ads Reading Your Mind?
Have your kids ever begged for something, or you saw a new product you wanted to try, and the next thing you know, you’re miraculously seeing ads for it everywhere??? It can kinda freak you out and make you wonder if your phone or home is bugged. You’re just idly scrolling through Facebook or […]
Know-It-All Parenting Method
Unlike all other parenting styles, Know-It-All Parenting isn’t actually a method for raising children. It’s for educating other parents on how they’re doing it oh so WRONG. Amazingly all that’s required for Know-It-All Parenting is the ability to speak or type. Another singularly unique advantage is that you don’t need to have a child of […]
QUIZ: 9 Alcohol Cheats in Animation
Brought to you by responsibility.org for their TalkEarly campaign. In the past, animated films and shows were, um… rather boozy. A review of every G-rated movie created from the 30s up to 2000 said 47% showed alcohol consumption, and in that same period about 9% percent of all cartoons did as well. That’s a LOT […]
