Things that make other parents know they are not alone in their experiences and how you deal with them. Also, any advice you have on communication between the sexes would be helpful. For example, what are your thoughts on disciplining your children, and are they different from your wife, how do you handle it, etc. I am twittering this as well - http://twitter.com/lisanne411 Good Luck!

Any topics that deal with frugal living as well as coupling it with parenting will be a big hit. Also, teaching kids to get away from conspicuous consumerism, even though they are so influenced by what they see in the media and at their schools. I also love contests on blogs (obviously), giveaways, etc. FRUGALITY is the hot topic everywhere, and personally I can't get enough of reading about it.

I follow all the frugal sites and work hard to make our one income stretch beyond belief. I have a hard time getting my husband to participate as well. How can I take some of the burden off my shoulders? For example I need to get life insurance. How can I get him to research different plans/pricing w/o endless nagging?

Diane - this is a huge topic and I've be glad to focus some attention on this. My wife worked with autistic kids for some time and spent a lot of time with one kid in particular. It was a mix between extremely funny and special interactions and extremely challenging at the same time. I'll delve into these spectrum disorders from multiple angles. Kate, Phil, Denise - We made the switch from dual income to single income once the kids came and boy, things sure did change around the house. Given my personal finance blogging and experience here on the home front, I'll be sure to focus quite a bit on these topics. Sarah - Thanks for the advice and yes, I see horrendous parenting out there occasionally. And sometimes I'm not the best parent and need to have the humility and perspective to recognize when that's the case and how to turn a situation around.

How do you raise a child in the 21st century? I look at parenting blogs, like if you find one blog you like, see who they mention or who follows them, then you can usually find some really good information, from LOTS of different sources.
