I've written in the past about how much I value conversations about what works and doesn't work when it comes to parenting, how stating the benefits of one approach over another doesn't equate to judging parents who have made a different choice, and how I detest it when parents who hate being judged point their finger [...]
Last week we began talking about the very sensitive subject of divorcing your children, or what it means to come to the conclusion that your involvement in your children’s life is doing them, and perhaps you, more harm than good. This is the situation many men find themselves in after divorcing or breaking up with [...]
Entitlement and narcissism are on the rise in our culture. Every now and again, you get to witness what happens when entitlement and a lack of smarts collide. And that’s what happened at the Alamo Drafthouse last summer when an angry customer left an indignant, expletive riddled and hilarious voicemail to complain about being kicked [...]

After testing for one week, I have decided not to continue using it for several reasons: Despite blocking certain categories and certain brands, ads that I didn't want to have displayed on my site [...]
