My teenager thinks I'm dumb as a brick. My toddler is under the impression drawing on the wall is cute. My seven year old wants to play baseball, basketball, soccer, football, handball, racquetball AND volleyball. I can't remember the last time our family actually had an enjoyable meal together and I can't remember the last time I had an uninterrupted conversation with my spouse If any of this sounds a bit like your family, The 17 Laws of Parenting is for you For seemingly no reason at all, the perfect parents will have children who give them nothing but trouble and ironically the very children who have outlaws for parents grow up to be successful members of society. Families are too busy to be families, and Russ Rogers has 17 easy to implement time proven methods to bring families back together again.
I'm just a regular guy with a passion to help families. There is really nothing special about me as I could be your neighbor, coworker, or someone you probably don't think about.
What is special about me is my marriage. I can say without any hesitation whatsoever my wife Tracy and I are more crazy about each other now than when we got married 30 years ago. We are closer and have more fun together now more so than the first 10 years of our marriage.
