HalloWINNING for Parents (7 Comics)
The leaves are turning, or in my case as a resident of Southern California, the shorts are turning into pants. Halloween is looming! Whatever hails the changing of the seasons for you, ever since I was a wee little scab-picker, Halloween wasn’t just Halloween for me. Pumpkins and polyester cobwebs were the only evident thing […]
When Dads Toy Battle (Crazy Special Effects VIDEO)
Kids can get pretty carried away when they’re playing, augmenting reality with their powerful imaginations.

Adults have a harder time stepping into a world […]
16 Absolutely Gag-Inducing Halloween Food Creations

My Wife Just Said… #285

What I Say VERSUS What My Kid Hears
The number one waste of oxygen on the planet is parents telling their kids things. Probably.

Most kids’ ability […]

My Wife Just Said… #283
No one wants to be that nutty parent with fevered spittle flying off their lips as they scream unheard tips and cheers from the sidelines to their kid. But that doesn’t seem to stop them. It’s hard not to get swept up in the game when your kid is playing, to be so invested that […]
Parenterms: “Passwordthy”
Pretty much everyone in these obscenely modern times knows the truly deep and profound statement of trust it is to grant someone else your password. Parents, especially, have to put some seriously paranoid thought into handing over the keys to their digital castle, since kids can innocently get up to no good, totally on accident, […]
Kids Failing Majestically (13 GIFs)
(Don’t worry, none of these are those awful fails that are followed by a trip to urgent care or the ER.) Everyone has to go through a lot of awful before they get to awesome, and since kids are pretty much new at everything, there is a wealth of awful that can be pretty entertaining. […]
