New, Must-See Parenting Site

It's here!  OrdinaryParent.com has been set-up with the sole focus on parenting and the challenges faced for all of us ordinary parents.  Parenting posts from Middle Class Keith have been migrated over.  I really appreciate the thousands of visitors that came to the site over it's first two months, and based on feedback and statistics have decided to focus solely on parenting at ordinaryparent.com.  I will continue to post non-parenting posts on middleclasskeith.blogspot.com.  Thanks for reading, and continue to provide feedback to make this site and my new site even better.

Parenting - Good Ideas, Bad Ideas

As much as I’d like to say that my wife and I have made no mistakes over the last 6 months of raising our daughter, that’s just not possible.  So with some examples of our own mistakes and other good/bad ideas I could think of, I’ve put together 10 sets of good ideas and bad ideas.  I just won’t mention which ones we’ve actually done and which ones I’ve made up.  Enjoy!
