Should Dads Be Let Off Nappy Changing Duties?

Now, there’s question that’s bound to raise a few heckles. I imagine most mothers would be emphatic about the need for dad to share in all the duties of parenthood - the good, the bad and the down right smelly. But this issue has had a number of on-line parent forums buzzing this week. Read on...

Just shy of seven years ago my husband and I became first-time parents. We’d had little to do with babies prior to our own special arrival, so like most first-timers we were thrust naively into the world of newborns, night-feeds, and nappies. But there was a whole other world opening up before o...

I have a confession. My kids like TV. They like it a lot. My husband and I endeavour to be good parents by keeping a rule of moderation. There are certain times of the day when TV is and isn’t allowed, for instance, not before school on weekdays, and not when it’s dinner-time. There’s been m...

I was 27, about to turn 28, when I had my daughter in 2006. Now I'm 32 and faced with the inevitable question from friends, relatives, and well-meaning strangers alike: "So, when are you going to have another one?" Usually I reply that when men can give birth I'll be first in line for a second ch...

My daughter is in love with Mickey Mouse. When we took her to Tokyo Disneyland at two-and-a-half (www.ohbaby.co.nz/article.aspx?ContentID=2651), she couldn't stop talking about him. Unfortunately, when it was time to get up close and personal with The Mouse, she was just a little bit unnerved by ...

Sick as a dog

I never understood that phrase, "sick as a dog." My dog is laying here in bed with me now, but he's not sick -- and I can't recall a single time in the past seven years of his life where he's been sick in a way that I would compare to human illness. He doesn't really get sick. He gets itchy, most...

I worked for a telemarketing firm once, when I was at university. I wasn't a telemarketer; I was the office assistant to the branch manager. She promised to pay me the princely sum of $8 an hour when the telemarketers themselves were on $5.50 (plus bonuses). I only worked for her for two weeks, o...
