Side Order of Duh

My hatred for parenting experts is well known.  Here’s why: 

They use a one-size-fits-all approach to parenting.  Really?  You might as well find two snowflakes that are identical.
Parenting experts offer their advice from ivory towers, i.e. most of their advice is based on experiments and research not the real world.
If parenting experts even have kids, they [...]

For the Love of the Game

I hate watching sports with my mom.  Ech!  Just the thought of watching sports with her makes my blood pressure spike.  She gets so damn excited and acts like every play, every shot, every action is the greatest or most heart-breaking event that will ever happen in the history of sports.If someone misses a putt [...]
