Who does the most unpaid work around the world? (hint: it ain’t the US)

Mom CEO (Chief Everything Officer)TM –
Having, Doing, and Surviving It All!

Let’s face it – some countries are just better at some things than others. For example, the French and the Italians are known for their food. This doesn’t mean that other countries aren’t good at their own food, but what’s the first thing you ask someone when they say they’re heading off for a vacation in Italy?

That’s right. Web Watch can’t explain it, it just is.

So when the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) decided to do a survey on which country spends the most time doing household chores, Web Watch thought we’d use this as an opportunity to take a look at countries around the world from a different perspective.

Embarassing Parenting: Wave at the Bus

Fisher Price Little People Lil’ Movers School Bus

Not everybody’s parents are as cool as Dale Price.

Even if his son, Rain, may have been slightly embarassed about his father’s occasional antics today – what Dale has done for the past year is something that will definitely make for some awesome family stories 10 or 20 years from now.

And Dale didn’t really do anything too complicated.

All he did was the same thing any other modern-day parent does – they send their children off to school on the schoolbus every day. Of course, Rain is also a teenager, with all the typical teenage angst. So Dale thought he’d try something a little different this past school year.

Adopting? Try a “pregnancy” photo gallery

Deluxe Belly Cast & Bold Decorating Kit

Everywhere you look there are pictures of smug pregnant women.

Women who are thrilled with being pregnant, proud to show off their baby-oven – whether it be with belly casts or pumpkin paint.

And there’s nothing wrong with this. Many articles have been written about how some women become more beautiful to their spouses when they’re pregnant. How pregnancy only enhances her looks as she changes from “woman” to “mother”.

But there shouldn’t be a double-standard on this.

Are you pregnant?

Ever wonder what it would be like if your belly had a big glass window like your oven does, so you can glance at your developing child any time you wanted? Yeah, it would put new meaning to the phrase “a bun in the oven”.

It ends up that Melody Shiue has designed what could very well be the answer to your prayers:

Anne Geddes Baby Costumes

It’s just another thing that parents do to embarass their kids: dressing up their kids in funny costumes and taking pictures of ’em.

Pictures that can be used for high school yearbooks, engagement party photo displays, bar mitzvah autograph boards — you know, anything that can be blown up to poster-size and put on display for the world to see.

The “Clean Plate Club” is a farce

Piazzas and Pizzas: Adventures of the Clean Plate Club in Italy

You remember how your parents always used to encourage you to eat all the food on your plate at each meal?

“Eat your food, you want to be a member of the Clean Plate Club!”
“Here comes the airplane – open up the airplane hanger and let it in…”
“If you don’t eat your meat, you can’t have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat?”

And the ever-popular, “there are starving children in China/Africa/Arizona who don’t have any food, so you better eat”.

Well, it ends up that our parents were lying to us.

Guarantee the Sex of Your Baby:
Choose a Girl or Boy Using Today’s 99.9% Accurate Sex Selection Techniques

There are all sorts of research done that allegedly say they can influence what gender your new baby will be.

Some come down to bedroom techniques, some are due to foods that are eaten, or the type of underwear the father should wear one month before the conception is attempted.

Everybody knows that it’s the father that contributes the chromosome that results in whether the baby is a boy or a girl… but a new study has come out that may pour some fuel onto the growing fire of the mother having some influence after all.
