Has anyone ever had Hawaain bread from Wal-Mart? Well, the stuff is stinkin' great. I may or may not have been having a discussion with my girlfriend at some point about how we should probably start eating more healthy foods...

brandsmcgee Actually, you are right about there being "good and bad" carbs. Unfortunately, I don't think carbs from bread are actually good carbs. I'm not 100% positive, but good carbs are generally thought to come from fruit (natural sugars) etc. The carbs from bread...

I have three children, two girls and a boy. I didn't have any brothers growing up, just a sister. I was always nervous about having a son. I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on the things that my girls will experience in...

brandsmcgee I think the best thing you can do for your son is have dad be the main disciplinarian. I also know you've given certain ladies advice before about how they should really look at the way their boyfriend treats his mother before they get into a relationship....

I'm just wondering what your idea of a stay at home mom is? What should she accomplish throughout the day and what about what dad's job is? If dad works a "normal" job does he work 40 hours outside the home and then his job is...

brandsmcgee Yes, and I think your kids will benefit more from a mom who cares for and loves them rather than a mom who keeps the house spotless. There are moms out there that care more about keeping the house clean than attending to their childrens' needs. You're not...

I'm 27 years old. I'm married and I have 3 children. I'm wondering if there is ever a good reason for a dad to leave his children? I cannot think of a single reason why this would be ok. I believe that a child deserves a mom...

brandsmcgee Well, what if I'm a dad and I need to go to work? Is it okay for me to leave my children as long as I come back? I don't have any children, it's just that this discussion is making me scared that I'll never ever get to leave my children for any reason (like...

I grew up in a home where Christmas was all about Santa Claus and reindeer...and so on. I loved our Christmas'. I am now 24 years old, born again Christian and have a four year old son. He knows Santa Claus isn't real. I get...

brandsmcgee What if we all just decided that our Christmas day would be better spent volunteering at a soup kitchen for a bunch of homeless people? Maybe in a big city somewhere? Or maybe even starting our own around here? You are definitely correct! Christmas is...

brandsmcgee I've read this general discussion and most of the responses: I think it's fair to say that you have your hands pretty full. Your kids' age span is so close together that it makes for a tougher job now -- nice thing is it might bring you some relief down the...

Before having children I told my father-in-law that if he ever saw my children doing something wrong and I wasn't around that he should correct the child. Now I feel like sometimes my in-laws overstep this. Even if my husband...

brandsmcgee I think the husband needs to be the FIRST to say something. It isn't the wife's duty to do the confronting of her husband's mom. In-law relationships are already fragile enough. First and foremost, the husband needs to confront his mother. This may or may...
