Radio Show – Bringing Up Geeks!

Betsy — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 16:43:27 +0000

Hi Friends – as you may know by now, “It Takes a Parent” is moving to its new, one hour slot starting Sunday, July 6th. You’ll be able to hear us every week from noon to 1:00. We are very excited about the expanded show. The first program will feature Kathleen Parker, author of the book “Save the Males” – she’ll be on with Jessica DeGroot of the Third Path Institute who says forget save the males, at least when it comes to “traditional” men, that in fact guys and gals need to blend roles when it comes to work, parenting, and home chores more than they ever have!

Well we are getting ready for the expanded show, so this week’s broadcast of “It Takes a Parent” – the last in the Thursday slot – will feature a rebroadcast of an interview with the terrific Marybeth Hicks, author of “Bringing Up Geeks” (hint: it’s a good thing!) which originally aired March 6th.

Listen today at 2:00 central on AM1160 WYLL, streaming at wyll.com, or after the show here and podcast on Nationalreview.com.

Get ready for Sunday, July 6th, to listen in at noon!

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Column – Will Men Ever Do Enough? Or, What do Women Want?

Betsy — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 15:54:34 +0000

Hi Friends – so, what do you think? Do married women have more childcare and household responsibilities because, in general, they want it that way — or because that’s the way it is? This is NOT to say there isn’t a lot of conflict in individual households over this issue – but en masse, do we women really want to share 50/50?

See what you think!

Hi friends – as you may have heard me announce on the show last week, “It Takes a Parent” moves to a new, expanded, one hour time slot on WYLL. Starting Sunday, July 6th, you’ll be able to tune in at noon every week for a full hour of “It Takes a Parent.” I’m very excited about the new opportunity, and the chance to reach more families. As always, you’ll be able to get the show here, and podcast on nationalreview.com in addition to hearing it on WYLL AM1160, or streaming at wyll.com.

I’ll keep you posted with new developments!

As always, thanks for stopping by – Betsy

Are You Sick of all Those School “Fundraisers?

Betsy — Wed, 21 May 2008 13:27:58 +0000

I am!

What’s worse is that today, it seems so many parents do the work FOR their kids. When I sold girl scout cookies in junior high, my parents had nothing to do with it. My dad never took my cookie forms to work. I sold the cookies, I kept track of the money, and when the (typically) over one hundred boxes arrived to be distributed, I did it all myself.

It’s way different now, as this Wall Street Journal article by Meghan Gurdon tells us. Don’t we parents know it. (An experience with my youngest is mentioned in Meghan’s piece.)

Enjoy.
