The Cherry Tree Run Amok

Po Bronson's new book, NurtureShock: New Thinking About Children, debunks the worthiness of praise, preaches that sleep is a critical piece of learning, and -- most devastatingly -- sets forth the notion that 98 percent of all kids lie to their parents (it's a great read, as long as you have a strong cocktail by your side).

Just a Guy Who Is Very Grateful

Angels in Our Dreams

I Slept with My Husband

When our oldest daughter turned 13, we celebrated. I'm not talking about an elaborate birthday party with my daughter and too many of her 13-year-old friends -- although we had one of those. I'm talking about dinner, alone with my husband ... at a restaurant (fancy) ... with drinks (alcoholic) ... and a movie (R-rated)!

Just a Guy Having the Sex Talk (with His Kids)

I remember when my dad had the "talk" with me. It was at a BBQ joint with sawdust on the floor. He talked mostly in euphemisms and I didn't really understand much at all. Not a great beginning, as I fumbled along for years to come.

Just a Guy Wanting His Sons to be Men

Does anyone remember when men were men -- when boys looked up to their fathers and other men and wanted to be just like them in their "manly ways"? Now, with elementary education completely hijacked by women, there's been a systematic change in how boys are educated and raised.

The Green-Eyed Mommy

Jealousy gets triggered in us when we feel competitive with someone, and we also feel like we have failed or not measured up in some way. Basically it is the idea that my cup is empty and I can't tolerate the fullness of yours, so I would like to spoil, spill, or destroy yours in some way.

Gardasil: Do the Risks Outweigh the Benefits?

We've all seen the "One Less" commercials promoting Gardasil, the cervical cancer vaccine that helps protect against 4 types of human papillomavirus (HPV). This three-dose vaccine, which was introduced in 2006, is for girls age 9 to 26. But how safe is it? Momlogic investigates.

Contractually Obligated NOT to Dance Sexy

High schools are attempting to bump explicit dancing from the dance floor.

Lies I Told Myself (New Mothers Take Notice)

As a blogger for this site, I try to provide the perspective of a mother with older kids (the perspective of a smart-ass sometimes just slips out). It is from that vantage point of experience that I thought I would address any interested new mothers out there -- and share some lies I told myself when I first became a mother 14 years ago.

Why Are You YELLING?

I have to admit, I get a little hot under the collar when my daughters ask me that question in their "you are really, really crazy" sarcastic tone.

Would You Buy Your Daughter a Vibrator?

On Oprah, a sex expert suggested we buy our daughters vibrators. Well? Would you? Or do you have trouble even saying "vibrator" and "daughter" in the same sentence?

Trans-Parenting: How Daddy Became Mommy

One mom shares her journey of becoming a mother ... and the woman she always knew she should be.
