My 5-year-old son, Vincent, tells the truth. Well, more specifically, he tells the truth on others. In other words, he’s a tattletale.

I thought that once the video game was hooked up he’d be immediately engaged in some game for hours.

Is it wrong that I threaten my son to be good or Santa won’t come?

What’s harder for a dad?

Shopping for his daughter’s dress for homecoming? Or realizing that his little girl is growing up.

See, I have lost the battle of cleaning my 5-year-old’s room. Well, actually I gave up. And I don’t give up easily. But it’s not my son’s fault. It’s because he has over-indulgent parents.

“Mommy, if I get lots of money, I can buy anything I want. You can buy everything with lots of money,” Vincent chirped.

I began by saying “Well, honey, money can’t buy love.”

I actually dread mealtime, or hope that my husband, William, just decides to throw a pizza in the oven, a staple of the Dellinger household.

I never really wanted to have kids. Then I met William. He was everything I was looking for: funny, good-looking, ambitious, hard working. And did I mention he had an 8-year-old daughter?
