Mama Drama: Potty Training On The Go
September 3, 2010 – 7:00 am | No Comment

Dear Mama Drama:

Spanking…what’s the general consensus on the matter?
March 12, 2008 – 12:21 am | 14 Comments

When my daughter was three and a half, she developed a real “tude.” She seemed to transform from my delightful, lovely, vivacious, angel to an uncontrollable, defiant, demon-kid about every five minutes.
MRS and I debated the pros and cons of spanking, when demon-child was present. MRS says, no way, and drops “How To? books on [...]

Sex. Marriage. The Secret Problem
January 17, 2008 – 12:31 am | 27 Comments

I’m sitting here with my brother and Amber emails me to write a post for MHM. I ask my brother—single, by the way—what I should write about for the Mamas. He says, and I quote, “tell them to get on um more.?

Musings on Breast Milk, Formula and Placenta

This is dedicated to all you new and almost new dads.
Needless to say, if your lady is on board with nourishing your child from the melons-of-life, count your blessings. Sure you may have to submit to a handful of keep-her-company 3AM feedings, just to show you really do care. But as the weeks slog [...]

The Witness

A common conundrum plagues the male species. We dont listen. Our women know we dont listen. They use this knowledge against us so artfully that it has become mere reflex; so much so that they dont even realize they do it. How many times do you hear this exchange?
Honey. Did you drop off the dry [...]
