Parenting Tips

As someone without kids, I have lots of good advice for parents.

• Your children may occasionally ask you which of them you love more. It’s important to let them know that they are equally important to you, ranking just below fishing time, quiet time, and mixed drinks time.
• Every so often when introducing your kids to people, refer to them as “My son Eddie, and my good son Mike.” Switch names from time to time to keep them on their toes. When you post to social media celebrating their birthday, say, “Happy birthday favorite son Eddie!” and then, “Happy birthday Mike!”
• If you have twins, buy them similar but not identical cakes so they can have a spirited debate over which one is better.
