We’re pretty close, so she and her dog (the Bean) come over quite a bit. The way she hovers over her dog is roughly equivalent to how I treated my oldest child, when he was a baby. Where was he? What was he doing? Was he getting into trouble? Impossible. Mama was always watching.

Evidently, traumatic hospital births with a lot of medical interventions are leaving moms severely emotionally scarred. Imagine that!

For most families, the biggest problem of the day will probably be a child with an upset stomach.

Tired of chores at home?If you’re ready for some major relaxation — and maybe even a great adventure to go with it — then pack your bags and head to the wilderness.

For me, watching was not enough — I was compelled to try this sport for myself.

Too many parents, I think.
