Taste of what it's like to have a large family by
Claire Petersky
My in-laws have come to visit, and I was walking around the Pike Place
Market with my kids and a collection of their cousins. A shopkeeper
asked me, "are all of those yours?"
I nodded, and answered, "yes, Spencer here is the oldest, at 13, and
Alicia here is the youngest at 7."
"Wow, you must be...

Would you travel more if you didn't have kids? by
Claire Petersky
We recently had a dinner party, one couple, and four guests who were single.
After the party, one of my husband's comments was how much everyone there
travels. One of the guests left the party early because she was flying out
to Hawaii early the next morning. People talked about diving in the Red...

Street scramble by
Claire Petersky
Have you ever done a street scramble before? It's an urban orienteering
event (see he http://www.streetscramble.com/). We did a local street
scramble as a family team recently. We had a blast, even if we didn't come
close to winning. (Top sco 260; our score, 130; average 142) But the

One more thing you need to check in before you board -- your teen! by
Claire Petersky
A friend forwarded me a link to this blog entry:
http://www.defectiveyeti.com/archives/001748.html
It just cracked me up. I think I saw every single one of those expressions
on my 13 year old daughter's face at a dinner with her grandparents the day
before yesterday.

The next generation... by
Claire Petersky
Someone I met on the misc.kids newsgroup back in the early 90s reports that
her daughter, who recently married, is now pregnant. I don't know what I
feel is more ancient, me or the internet!

Inconsiderate drivers and kids who walk to school by
Claire Petersky
My daughter walks or rides her scooter or bike to her elementary school
every day. Because the route goes on a footpath, it's only a quarter mile;
the route by motor vehicle is four times longer. The biggest problem right
now the kids walking is all the other parents who drive. She only has...

Disaster plan in place for your family? by
Claire Petersky
It's difficult for me to believe that there has been zero traffic on
misc.kids.moderated regarding Hurricaine Katrina, when practically every
other on-line forum (web or usenet) has had so many messages.
In any case, considering Katrina's aftermath, I was wondering what people's

Pre-Teen/Teen Tandem Team by

The rubber has hit the road now that it's February -- we've started
training. Because it's very easy to put off doing...

Surprise! by

I saw that Rose's sock drawer was hanging out too far, and I could see
something under the drawer itself, that must have somehow fallen in behind
the dresser drawers and was now resting under all the drawers inside the
dresser.
So I pulled out the drawer completely, and I found two clean...

[CTTS] Saddam Hussein's Ultimate Punishment? by
Claire Petersky
My kids were having a lively discussion about what the fate of Saddam
Hussein should be.
Their verdict: to be sentenced to serve as the Bennett Elementary School
lunchroom volunteer for Life. I guess they consider this worse than the
death penalty.

Example of teaching religion in the schools by

My younger daughter's class is reading The Secret Garden. As a way to
learn more about the background of the story, the class has been divided
up to do reports and presentations on traditional English and Indian

Our Martin Luther King Day by

What we did on Martin Luther King Day:
It was absolutely pouring down rain here, and cold. Everyone had to get a
