And we say goodbye to someone who really messed all of us up as kids: Maurice Sendak. The author of “Where the Wild Things Are” died at age 83 on May 8th and he leaves a legacy. Was it good for you? If you want to laugh with him, might I suggest his interview with Stephen Colbert, Part 1 & Part 2.

What would you want your children to remember about you if you were to die today? Is it that he works too hard? Was it that Dad was never around? Was it that Dad was often angry when he came home?

So many parents say the traditional phrase, “I want them to remember that I always put them first. That everything I did, I did for them.” Blah, blah, blah. Let’s come up with something original. Todd has three words for his kids. He also pontificates about the advice he would pass on to his kids. What would it be?

Also, why is Proctor & Gamble sticking it to Dads in many of their recent ads? They made us all look terrible in a diaper ad. Now they have done it again with a 2012 London Olympic Games ad. What is going on? Why don’t they feel Dads are capable of doing anything? Come Father’s Day, they better turn this ship around.

Have you ever read that yearly release by Salary.com? This year it was $112, 962. Alright Moms! You are worth a lot of cash! So why does one woman hate this survey? Why does Todd and Kent think it’s crap? Oh, let’s count the ways. And by the way, what about stay at home dads?

Plus how do you as a parent set up your child’s social network? Should you? How intensely do you monitor it? A bunch of mom’s responded during the show and Todd and Kent talked about how they plan on handling it when their time comes…

Keli Goff, a columnist for The Huffington Post, believes that parents with unruly children should be fined by the airlines. If you can’t get your child to be quiet so Keli can sleep or get her work done, then you should be fined.

Well you guessed it. This kind of set me off. Now, I wanted to make sure that I didn’t just rail on her. I wanted to deliver some resources and tips that would help parents deal with Keli and Malaysian Airlines who is now launching Child-Free cabins in the sky.

In this episode, I will share with you a couple of tricks to use with your kids that can help stop them from screaming on a place and I will teach you about the GREATEST tool ever invented to help you with your children’s outbursts and more importantly your outbursts at them. There is a way to make this situation better. Keli Goff’s idea is an insult to her intelligence, though by her answer it is doubtful she has much.

What’s harder? Raising a boy or a girl? The debate rages on. Lots of parents chimed in on this one. Kent and Todd differed in their opinions. Todd feels that boys get cheated because nobody thinks they are emotional and by not dealing with that side of their personality, parents are doing them a disservice.

Also one man put a list together of 50 Rules for his Unborn Son: Unsolicited advice for his man-in-training. Many of them made sense. Some were completely bizarre. There were some that didn’t make the list. What about the advice that you received as a child? Kent loved the reason to keep all of your letters. Todd laughed at #35: Try a hairstyle that you’ll one day regret. I’ll get over it.

You know, Dads don’t get enough credit. We can make our kids better students. The best way for us to do that is by getting involved. But how?

Enter Eric Snow, the National Director of Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads Of Great Students). He has been helping guide this program for the past four years and now over 200,000 different dads around America are taking a day off work to be involved in their program. But it’s not really their program per se.

In today’s episode you can learn about how Watch D.O.G.S. is helping all of our children be better students and better people. Fathers can have that much influence. It’s not to say that women are crucial as well, but they are more often there because Dads are commonly working. So let’s try to balance the playing field and make things better for our children. This is a powerful and exciting interview that may just have you telling your boss, “I’m taking tomorrow off to be with my kids!” He might want to do the same thing!

Some people are making a difference at this very moment. We talked about them on this episode. Kate Upton is showing us you don’t have to Kate Moss skinny to be a gorgeous model. Katy Butler is proving that teenagers do have power and she has almost 300,000 signatures to prove. Now what is she going to do with those Hancocks? What about those Portland parents who just won a 2.9 million dollar lawsuit because their child was born with Down Syndrome? And a new whistle blower is telling everyone to start grinding their meat at home. Why? Because he used to work for the USDA and a report from Harvard says you might not want to eat red meat all. We tell you why some people are just big boobs and toss a few opinions in there as well.

Kent and Todd tackle a stupid business idea, Baby Headgear. What the hell has become of parents? Are we so lazy that we can’t protect our children? This sets the stage for a show full of discussion about what is wrong with kids, parents and those kids that go Goth. Who is to blame? Parents. Where and how can we fix these issues? In this episode, because Todd and Kent have answers.

If you could choose an athlete, alive or dead, for your child to emulate, who would it be and why? There were many responses to this question and many that confused Todd but there were a few that may be gone, but should never be forgotten. Are you a coach? Todd is and he plans on taking these answers and asking his kids to do a little research about them to learn from the great leaders that are not making headlines today. This is an episode that could keep on giving, because today’s children, girls and boys, in the age of Facebook and Twitter, do not have the role models to follow.

Which leads me to the other half of the show: discussing Tommy Jordan’s tirade against his own daughter that lead to him shooting her laptop with his 45 handgun. Was he right? Was he wrong? What did he miss in this opportunity that was handed to him? Was his daughter just trying to reach out for help? It’s all discussed on this episode of Dads Unplugged.
