I think only Hutch has posted pictures of his kids here.

Friend my wife on facebook if you want to see pictures of my kid. She's ALWAYS posting kid pictures.

But even as often as she does it, we have one friend who posts kid pictures so frequently that even my wife complains about it.

Facebook? That is the enemy of message boards everywhere.  You do know you can block people from appearing on your new feed or whatever they call it.

For those of you with kids, what grade is your kid in and how much average time does your kid spend on homework daily/weekly?

4th grader spends at least an hour a day either doing homework or reading. My wife and I support and encourage it, but he's extremely driven all on his own. He gets the highest marks in every subject and in a couple weeks he will be on TV for the citywide spelling bee, having won the previous three rounds.  

When we tell our Kindergartner to do his homework, which is usually as complicated as "Color the fire engine red," he screams, pisses himself, throws things, says he wants to kill us, tears his homework packet into pieces, and then demands that we clean it all up.

I always say, if we'd stopped after our first kid, my wife and I would think we were the greatest parents in the world. Our second child disabused us of this notion very effectively. (Still love him to death though. He's going to be special in one way or another, though it remains to be seen whether it's "John Wayne" special or "John Wayne Gacy" Special)

This is from a couple years ago but is probably my favorite picture of them.

From last year, looking at her you wouldn't believe how much food she can put away.

echoing Relaxer a little?..

my mellow surfer dude second grader - about 30-45 minutes a night

my driven, overachieving 7th grader - tonight she clocked a good 2.5-3 hours

relaxers photo of his children are down right priceless.  coffe table book quailty.  but, the one kid, on the trainer toilet with a suspicious brown stain around his mouth . . . is frightning.

We just had a lesbian wedding at our house with Hello Kitty and Goodby Kitty getting married. Coincidentally, a Rufus Wainwright album was playing.

What's the deal with parents who throw their baby in a crib while sharing their bed with an 80 pound dog?

you might crush the baby?  and a dog can just get up and jump off the bed if you roll over on him, to go drink out of the toilet. 

Is there a chance I'll roll over and crush my baby if we share a bed?

sleep expert
It would be irresponsible for me to say there's no chance of your rolling over and crushing your baby if you sleep-share. Yet studies suggest that mothers and infants intuitively sense each other's presence in bed.

At the University of Notre Dame's Mother-Baby Behavioral Sleep Laboratory, our studies of breastfeeding mothers who sleep with their 2- to 4-month-olds reveal that both mothers and their babies are extremely sensitive throughout the night to each other's shifting position in the bed.

During my many years of studying sleep-sharing, I've never heard of a single instance in which, under safe conditions, it was proven that a mother suffocated her child. Notice that I said safe conditions: Babies can and do accidentally suffocate when one or both parents doesn't know a baby is in the bed, is drunk or desensitized by drugs, or is indifferent to the baby's presence. The smaller and younger the baby, the more possible it is that a rollover might occur, according to recent data.

Do you know if you share a bed with your infant you increase their chances of suffocation by 4000 percent?  Perhaps that is the reason.
