I call it the look. The slight tilt of the head confused look that people give me when they find out that I am the “weekend” parent.

Wonderful son of mine, I am going to let you in on a little secret. Your mother is a liar. In fact, people lie all of the time.

I am not the only one who is running on this hamster wheel of debt. In 2017 Americans had a revolving debt of $1,022 billion. So, dear debt, it's over!

“This is what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real.” My home is a cooperative house on the South Side of Chicago.

Be careful what you wish for because at eight years old my son is exactly like his father in this aspect. I'm now raising an outgoing kid and I'm reserved.
