Parenting & Pregnancy > Parenthood Do parents have favorites amongst their children: 3 of 10

Before I had children I heard my friends talking about how their kids asked who the favorite was. When my own kids came to the age of wondering about this it brought back a lot of my own childhood memories.

Entertainment > Television (Other) Should swear words be bleeped out on television: 4 of 12

This will not be viewed as a very popular opinion, and it might even offend some people. I don't want to hear the bad words, but I hate hearing the bleeps.

I have been a long time fan of Price Is Right. I remember watching Bob Barker on Truth or Consequences when I was very young, and I thought he was one of the best game show hosts on television.

Entertainment > TV Networks & Industry What has happened to children's television programs?: 4 of 9

Children's programming sure has changed since I was a kid. I used to look forward to getting up on a Saturday morning and watching shows that were fun and exciting. I loved to solve mysteries with Scooby and the gang and H.R. Puffenstuff would help me learn courage and honor. Saturday mornings were full of cartoons that any ...
Parenting & Pregnancy > Toddlers Toddler leashes: Good or bad idea?: 6 of 12

Here is a debate that will spark controversy all over the planet. I feel like this is a subject that has no middle ground. You are either really for this or really against it.

I'm a Pepper, You're a Pepper, Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper too? Wow, that line sure brings back memories of the old Dr. Pepper commercials I used to watch as a kid.
