Ghost Busted

An Australian ghost hunter gets more than he bargained for. That activity was para-abnormal!

A father who rigged up a video camera in his kitchen to capture ghosts he thought were haunting his house accidentally caught his girlfriend making love to his teenage son instead. Convinced his home had been overrun by supernatural spirits, the [...]

The Dad Abides

It’s often said that we live in a risk averse society… That is not entirely true. We live in a very foolish society — one that is not risk averse. Indeed many of our people engage in risky behavior on a regular basis. Look at the housing market the last decade, the higher education [...]

TAG: You’re It

Kudos to this Dad for creativity I guess:

Sick and tired of his son playing video games and not listening to him, a father in China decided to take matters into his own hands… well, sort of. Instead of sending his son off to addiction camp or stripping him of internet and gaming rights, [...]

Christmas Stalking?

Ohio college student (Kansas native) Aubrey Ireland has won a civil stalking restraining order against her parents (Dad pictured above with Aubrey) from an Ohio court.

Earlier this month, Common Pleas Court Judge Jody Luebbers ruled in her favor, ordering that her parents must stay at least 500 feet from their only child until [...]

A Mother’s Rebuke

This really needs no further explanation.

Her Heart Belongs to Daddy

Little Indra’s Daddy is in Afghanistan serving our country…. The USO has the rest:

United Through Reading’s Military Program is one way a military parent can remain engaged over the course of a deployment. As this awww-inducing video from a United Through Reading beneficiary family shows, children are never too young to benefit from [...]

F is for Punishment

Florida parents force son to stand on corner with sign as punishment for bad grades, http://fxn.ws/ArDL2Q

I’m not sure if I’d roll this way but neither would I discourage him for trying it.

My Heart Belongs to Daddy

Meet 23 year old Brittani Nicole. When she was 18 Daddy gave her a very special present. From The New York Daily News:

Brittani Niccole got two presents from her dad when she turned 18 — bigger boobs.

And he performed the operation. “I have no qualms,” said Michael Niccole, a California plastic [...]

Parting Gift

Warning… there may be a bit of dust in the air…:

He held his newborn baby for less than an hour before he died.

Mark Aulger, 52, had been diagnosed with colon cancer, and months of chemotherapy had left his lungs badly damaged — so damaged that by mid-January he only had a few [...]

Metal Up Your Bottom

The vocals suck (of course) — the kid hasn’t had enough years to reach puberty and then drink and drug his voice into Hetfield range but the rest is OK. (faintly in the background you can hear someone yell… “That’s my effin’ boy!”)

Irish Setter Dad

You all may be familiar with the brouaha a few weeks ago when Yale Law professor Amy Chua released a book about how Chinese parents — Moms in particular — are superior to American parents. “Tiger Moms” she glossed it. Finally…. P.J. O’Rourke has gotten around to putting this issue in its proper perspective in [...]

Once Great Britain

Gape in to the face of evil for post-modern Britons.

The UK as lost its way…

From the UK Daily Mail:

A Christian couple facing a foster parenting ban because of their views on homosexuality were told by a court yesterday that gay rights ‘should take precedence’ over their religious beliefs.

Owen and Eunice [...]

The Dad Abides

What Are You Prepared to Do?

The sermon at my church this morning was on love and the extent to which we were prepared to go to show love to family and friends (next week is love towards strangers) building off the Scripture verse… “Greater love has no man than this, that he [...]

Cinderfella

I remember seeing reruns of Bugs Bunny or Milton Berle in drag as a kid. But this is a bridge too far. Part of being a parent is to help set your kids on the right course — especially at age 4 and 5. The Invictus “captain of my soul” worldview is dubious enough [...]

It Takes Parents To Raise A Child

The village has had its day. It’s high time for parents to reassert control over their children — all aspects on our children’s lives — full frontal assault. I don’t know much about California’s “Parent trigger” law allowing parents to demand a public school be run as a charter school. The union hates it [...]

The Dad Abides

This is why our society is so messed up. Come on prosecutors — do the right thing and drop this case, arrest the kids and allow this father to sue their parents — and fire that damn bus driver. Sure you CAN charge him — but was that really the intent behind the law? [...]

This is how it ends...

Absolutely disgusting…

Long Island Man Arrested For Defending Home With AK-47 Says Many Gang Members Were Coming After His Family

He fired four shots into his lawn and was arrested by Police for “reckless endangerment”. According to Police it’s not enough if someone (or 20 or so in this case) verbally threaten you and your [...]

Atlas Shrugging in the Playground

I’ve never liked Ayn Rand — and this tongue in cheek story reminds me why…

When little Aiden toddled up our daughter Johanna and asked to play with her Elmo ball, he was, admittedly, very sweet and polite. I think his exact words were, “Have a ball, peas [sic]?” And I’m sure you [...]

The Science is In….

And the Bible is right:

3 Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from Him.

4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one’s youth.

Psalm 127:3-4 (NAS)

Well OK, it’s social science, but there’s a great item in Saturday’sThe Wall Street Journal [...]
