So, being a guy who thinks that the perfect activity for a child is learning how to disable an opponent's limbs through strategic nerve strikes, The Wife suggested that I think of some more normal activities. So, on to Google! Type in the following:

and get (among more normal results):

Discovering Gender Roles Through Children's Story Telling

Which Dog Do You Feed?

The MOMS Club of San Jose

The last link there seems pretty interesting, especially since The Wife is a Stay-At-Home Mom. I'm looking to see if there is something similar in our area. All of our friends (there is a difference between Friends and Acquaintances) have moved out of town, and all of the family in town works most of the week. My Dad comes over once a week to help take the kiddoes swimming during the day. However, The Wife definitely needs more Adult Interaction while being able to have the kids do something.

The first two links are... interesting, and typical, to say the least. The first one deals with expaining gender roles and making them irrelevant to young children. Hooray for early tampering with natural order. If ya canna convince the adults, start twisting their children's thoughts from an early age.

The second, trys to extoll the virtues of never disciplining one's kids. Yah. That works wonders. Especially the part stated thusly:

When we redirect a child’s behaviour we ignore the misdeed, hence we do not feed it and yet help the child to then focus on more desirable behaviour and activity.

Um, ok... Anyone still confused as to why some idiots out there think that if we ignore the whole "the islamic terrorists want us dead" thing, that Peace and Happiness ™ will reign forever?!?!
