Ashli's fiancé Dave coaches a Little League team. She was attending a game the other night and was horrified as it came to an end -- when a mom kissed her son on the lips as he was coming off the field. "OMG," says Ashli, "That's so creepy!" What? I disagree, I think it's endearing. (Don't get any ideas Mom!) What do you think?

Many parents make threats to take away their kid's belonging when they don't behave, but few follow through. This Minnesota mom did, in a BIG way! She's now the meanest mom in the world.

When my son was 6 years old, I took him to Valleyfair. He wanted to ride the black octopus, and he nearly flew out of it. This video is a realization of this happening more than you think.

We've all been embarrassed by our parents, and as parents we've all embarrassed our kids. It's a rite of passage. Here are the top ways that parents horrify their kids.

It's been quite a while since I had a small child running around. My daughter is grown and has kids of her own now, but there was a time when I was all idealistic -- and had a list of things, "My kids would never do," (behave that way in public, eat junk food, watch too much TV, etc). Funny to look back. What were your 'My Kid Will Nevers?' Did you cave?

I came across this idea yesterday and had to share because I thought it was brilliant. A foolproof way to get your kids to eagerly do their chores every day. (Yes I said eagerly, and you can thank me later.) Just don't let them know you heard it from me.
