How could I miss this important day?

I was tipped off by Megan Bayliss of Imaginif that today is Bloggers Unite – Blog Against Abuse Day.

It’s important that bloggers get together to spread the message of love and care toward children. With the increasing number of child sexual abuse, assault and murder, this has become even more important than ever.

I am really pissed off by news of this nature. One such recent example is Nurin Jazlin.

I urge you to spread the word about Blog Against Abuse Day and ask your friends to write something about child abuse on their blogs.

Or you can submit a story to Megan’s blog here. No story is too trivial to share. Submit it now.

Do your bit and let’s work together to make this world a better place, especially for the young and innocent children.

I was startled when my friends asked how I got my two kids to sit quietly in the car seats when they saw two fitted in the back of our car.

According to them, they have problems getting their child to sit in a car seat. Worse, some never think of using car seats at all!

Oh my God! I thought parents are supposed to put child safety as priority when they are on the road.

It’s better safe than sorry. As for me, since the birth of our first child, J, car seat is something that my wife and I seem to agree upon without much argument (not that we always argue).
