Any parent of a teenager(s) knows the rest of this title…Our Kids. If there is karma in the world, I’m getting payback for the jerk I was (I’d use a stronger word if this were not a PG-rated column) to my parents for so many years. And, for all the incredible angst and sleepless nights I likely caused them. They only had me so I’m getting double since I have two boys, now 17 and 20. Payback is a b****.
No, it’s NOT the TV series!

Nowadays, there are projects given our elementary-age and older children that seem a bit big and over-whelming – to mom and dad, that is. Seriously, some of these projects are difficult and in many communities it seems the quality of these completed works are way beyond the capability of the kid that “did it.” Clearly, dad and mom are helping.
It’s no joke. There is identity theft and all kinds of shenanigans going on with the Internet. Yet, how many parents are really aware of what their kids do online? What they watch and WHO may be watching them? Social Media Safety is our topic for this Thursday’s #DadChat, July 31 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET. We have special guest DJ Thistle as our co-host this chat.

Who hasn’t had THAT idea that they were sure would be a home-run? And, then you see it on TV in an infomercial and kick yourself saying, “I had THAT idea!” Well, ideas are a dime a dozen – getting them OUT THERE is the key. We have the author of The Mom Inventor’s Handbook – Tamara Morosoff – as our guest at #DadChat this Thursday, July 24 at 6:00 p.m. PT/9:00 p.m. ET. She will teach us HOW to make it happen plus you can win copies of her books!
Is Feminism to blame for the good and the bad in our kids’ lives? Why are boys doing worse than ever while our girls are doing better in terms of academics, high school graduation, and college admissions? Has Title IV helped or hurt our kids? Do you believe our elementary schools are feminized? How many male teachers do you see these days?
Let’s discuss the POWER that feminism has instilled in our girls/women and its upside AND downside this Thursday July 17 at #DadChat, at 6:00 p.m. PT/9:00 p.m. ET. We have noted expert Mohanalakshmi Rajakumar as our very special co-host. Be sure to read her bio, below…
