Should Breastfeeding Videos Be Banned By YouTube?

Breastfeeding is a natural and very exciting thing for a dad to witness. As we have written before, although it may seem like an erotic peepshow jackpot for predads thinking they will get to ogle their wives’ monster jugs every few hours, they will quickly realize that it is sadly, not the case.

But is breastfeeding obscene? Apparently Facebook thought so. They banned pictures of breastfeeding on their site. Then when a video montage of women breastfeeding was put together by a mom in protest and published on YouTube, they banned it too. Read the rest of this entry »

Insane in the Medela Membrane

The Medela brand breast pumps are great products, but they are obviously greedy folk who do not understand the lifestyles of today’s pumping mother. If they did, they would make those stupid, tiny, necessary membranes more accessible. The membrane is a tiny rubber piece that attaches to the valve. The problem is that these membranes are very easy to lose and expensive to replace. Nevermind that I have scalded my hands twice using their microwave steaming bags, that’s my fault. After 3 kids, I am still a fumbling noodad. But come on Medela! These membranes are nearly impossible to keep track of while we are disparately trying to fit pumping and proper cleansing of gear into our schedule which also includes getting to work and caring for a toddler and a preschooler.

When Your Kid Draws Wood

The
following is a Public Service Announcement to all you noodads who have
sons. Your baby or toddler could be pitching tents in their little
diapers. It's true. But you have nothing to worry about.

If you are like me, you thought that you didn't experience stiffness
until that time when you were 11 and you saw the commercial for the
designer impostor fragrances commercial on TV. You know the one — where
all you see is beautiful female legs being sprayed down by
ozone-killing aerosol cans. Now you know that you may have been
sporting wood since you were a wee little lad.

Baby Murphy’s Law: A Curse On Your House

Murphy's Law: Any of certain humorous axioms stating that anything that can possibly go wrong, will go wrong.

There are many things that parents go through every day. Some of these
things are glorious: like a hug from your son or a smile from your
daughter. But some of these things are not so cheery. Sometimes, things
happen to you that you swear is the result of some higher power paying
you back for doing something really bad in a past life.

I call it "Baby Murphy's Law" and it can take any form. Baby Murphy's
Law events can be small and festering (like a wart) or they can be a
big deal—something that could very well put you over the edge of
sanity.

Inside Jokes: When Only Your Family is Laughing

As your kids get older, you will find that you accumulate habits that you only perform in the company of your family. These include but are not limited to songs you made up, nicknames, embarrassing stories, funny jokes and interpretive dances. Believe it or not, these are important family bonding exercises, especially the ones that everyone in the family knows.

I have several nicknames for my wife. I have called her some of these since we were dating. Very few people know them however my daughter caught on to a couple of them when she was 2. It was hilarious to hear her refer to her mother as no-i-am-not-telling-you-the-name-she-will-kill-me. The best part was that she knows that it is not something that anyone else calls her mother. She giggles every time she says it, and she even knows that it is funnier if she does not do it all the time.
