The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.

Why the Term “Working Mother” is Redundant
According to political consultant Hilary Rosen, Ann Romney, “has actually never worked a day in her life.”
This morning, Mrs Romney responded:
“She should have come to my house when those five boys were causing so much trouble. It wasn’t so easy.”
At the center of this issue is an ongoing point of tension for many families in America:
Are stay-at-home moms working mothers?
If you ask me, the simple answer to that question is a resounding “Yes!”
To try and draw a distinction between mothers who work outside the home and those who work full-time within it only diminishes the value of all mothers in general.
Three Things Bubba Watson and Tim Tebow Have in Common
Rarely do Easter and the world of sports mix so smoothly, but yesterday they did.
In Augusta, Georgia, thirty-three-year-old Bubba Watson won the Masters golf championship, coming from behind and claiming the green jacket on the 2nd hole of a sudden-death playoff round.
Bubba Watson is a Christian and a very exuberant one at that. In describing himself on Twitter, he notes that he’s a “Christian, Husband, Daddy” – in that order. He leads a Bible study during the PGA tour and regularly tweets verses of Scripture.
Dave Barry: Dining with Babies Causes Stressful Ambience
Does the columnist Dave Barry make you laugh?
Here are a few select excerpts from a column titled, “Dining with Babies Causes Stressful Ambience.”
Can you relate?
If you’re a new parent, there will come a time when either you or your spouse will say these words: ‘Let’s take the baby to a restaurant!’… It’s like saying: ‘Let’s take a moose to the opera!’”
It’s best to pay your bill as you enter the restaurant, adding a little extra (say, $800) to compensate for the fact that after you’re finished, your table may have to be burned.
What Do You Think About The Hunger Games?
The family and I are on spring break this week, but I’m curious for your feedback surrounding Suzanne Collins’ bestseller-turned-Hollywood-thriller The Hunger Games.
Have you gone to see it?
Would you permit your son or daughter to watch if they wanted to?
Why – or why not?
Given the young age of our boys, we haven’t paid attention to the book or the movie. Their minds are focused on much tamer fare, including Legos and other books and games.
Andy Rooney: The Following Things Are True About Housework
What does spring cleaning look like in your home?
According to the late Andy Rooney, the following things are true about housework:
Vacuuming a large rug is the easiest housekeeping job. Anyone doing it gets more credit than he or she deserves. This is partly because the vacuum cleaner makes so much noise it gives the illusion that someone’s working hard.
Putting away the vacuum cleaner is harder than vacuuming.
The single easiest thing to do in exchange for the most credit, is mopping the kitchen floor.
A Dose of Pouty Magic
I mentioned the other day that my colleague and Tim Tebow fanatic, Sue, was pouting over the arrival of Peyton Manning to the Denver Broncos and the subsequent trade of Tim to the New York Jets.
Thankfully, her poutiness was rare and short-lived. But I’m not so sure I can say the same thing about my son Troy who’s been known to pout to either make a point or get his way.
His brother calls it “pouty magic.”
The act doesn’t usually work, but that hasn’t stopped him from trying!
Are Parents Ruining Youth Sports?
This is taking “March Madness” too far.
Springfield, Massachusetts,father Timothy Lee Forbes was arrested this past Friday night for allegedly assaulting the winning coach in a sixth-grade championship basketball game. His son was on the losing team and apparently managed the loss with a greater degree of self-control than his dad, who actually bit off part of the victorious coach’s ear.
As Dave Barry would say, “No, I’m not making this up.”
Some are suggesting that since all of this took place at the Holy Name School as part of the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) sports program that it’s something of a black eye on the faith-based community.

Don’t Let Your Teen Daughter Do This
According to a recent story in the San Francisco Chronicle there is a disturbing trend developing with teenage girls on the internet:
A growing number of tweens and teens, mainly girls, are posting videos on YouTube asking commenters if they’re ugly.
Type ‘Am I ugly?’ or ‘Am I pretty’ into the YouTube search box and dozens of videos pop up, including one of an 11-year-old girl who poses for the camera, twirling her shoulders, smiling big, and pulling her long hair out of a pony tail.
