Martin Luther King Jr. Day is not just a time for reflection on the civil rights leader’s legacy. It is also a day of service in remembrance of his call to help others. To help families celebrate MLK Day and teach children the value of his message, we’ve got some suggestions. #parenting #kids
Celebrate MLK Day As A Family in Smart, Helpful Ways
Education and service to others is how families can best celebrate MLK Day in January so children learn the value of Rev. Dr. King's message.

"I know if I wasn’t a stay-at-home dad, they’d likely be clamoring for time with me and less time with mommy. If I was more the pushover and less the rule enforcer, this parental pendulum might swing in my favor. My brain knows this, but my heart remains wounded."
Do At-Home Parents Get Less Love, Respect from Kids?
While I often joke about the mom-centric attitude of my children, it’s definitely started to wear this stay-at-home dad down.

I miss those days when my kids were babies, just cuddling, eating and sleeping.

I’ve cherished every stage of their lives.

But if I could have just a few more minutes of those baby days, I’d take them in a heartbeat.

His father is teaching him well. When we understand money when we’re kids, we handle it better when we become adults.

Forget "How's school going?" Try these questions instead to get shy teens talking.

​Instead of the generic "How's school going?" try these questions to get kids and young adults alike to open up at your family gatherings.

New Thanksgiving tradition: naming the meal! "While eating the bird, everyone is given a slip of paper and a pen. They write a name on the paper, fold it up, and drop it into a hat .. The names are read aloud, and a winner is selected based on crowd reaction."

Thanksgiving Tradition: Football, Parades, Name That Dead Bird
There’s no secret formula to forming those traditions – at least none I’m aware of. Well, repetition seems like a needed ingredient.

They're marketing Wicked HARD to little kids, judging from the Target merch and I just uh need to remind people that the musical is very different from the book and you might wanna read it yourself first before deciding if your kids can handle it.

...he is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.
You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion. #dog #dogsofbluesky #love #parenting

"Let me assure you attending parades is not something I would do if I didn’t have a kid. That being said, if you hate parades but have to attend one? The Macy’s Thanksgiving parade is probably as good as it gets." citydadsgroup.com/i-dread-a-th... #Thanksgiving
I Dread a Thanksgiving Day Parade. Specifically, Macy's.
If you hate parades but have to attend one because you have kids, then I guess the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is as good as it gets.

We are!

Hear me out- we put gigantic hamster wheels in stores. While we shop, our kids run and we get a discount for the power they generate all the while keeping them out of trouble and getting them some exercise. Who’s with me?

A dad was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store for Thanksgiving Day, but couldn’t find one big enough for his family. He asked a stock boy, “Do these turkeys get any bigger?”

“No, sir,” the stock boy replied. “They’re dead.”
