**Sorry for the technical difficulties. The archives should be up and running later on, so you can try to catch what you missed! See the media player over there -->**
I've got a lawyer, professor, and a queen all prepared to drop their gloves and get down and dirty about the duck tonight. If you still think I should return the duck *cough* Suebob *cough*, or if you got another opinion of what I should do with my duck (be nice, I've already got a few things shoved up my ass, thank you), then call in. I'm giving away a free t-shirt to a lucky random caller.
Plus, I'm just dying to discuss some ridiculous comments that lend themselves to a deeper discussion on parenting ethics. (Honestly, I totally get the returning the duck thing, but not turning because you didn't turn your signal on? C'mon. Live a little!)
Do we really have to practice what we preach? What are our parenting deal breakers? Can our ethics change as we grow as humans? And where to do we draw the line in terms of "following the rules?"
Listen live from 10-11pm EST and call in (646) 915-8634. You can download past shows via iTunes. Feel free to email me your questions/comments, or leave them here. And if you miss the show, you can listen to the archives or the most recent show by clicking on the media player in my upper right hand sidebar.
Oh for duck's sake, you mean this is still running?
I'm off to steal a duck. They've got some nice ones at ToysRUs.

Damn, I got home too late to call and castigate you for your evil ways.
Thanks for the link love.

Ooooh. One time I can listen live and I can't get it to work either. Weird busy signal. :(

I can't believe that this is still going on. Who would of thought that a $6.95 duck could cause so much...uh...blog chaos
I will do my best to kick the hubby of the computer to listen tonight, assuming I will be able to stay awake.

This wave of mother-on-duck crime must be nipped in the bud!!

I'll be listening (and eating stolen cheesy duck crackers - stolen from my child, not the store but same diff in some people's books).

This. Is. Awesome.
Posted by: jen | June 27, 2007 at 01:12 PM
Duck Thief! LOL...I'll try to tune in. Seriously, though. I'ts not like you ment to do it and have a duck complusion.
Posted by: Shannon | June 27, 2007 at 12:55 PM
Oooooh, I wish I knew how to listen. Maybe I'll teach myself tonight! I am relatively new to the blogging world and am still trying to find my way around.
Posted by: AndreAnna | June 27, 2007 at 11:35 AM
I'll be eating foie gras while we speak, for the record. And maybe a bit of confit.

I can't wait. I may have to go out and steal some snacks for the show.
It's funny how the most innocuous (no idea if I spelled that correctly) post can really bring the crazies out in full force.

For once, the kids will go to bed on time - if only so that I can listen.
(Hey people, don't get too feisty - I'm on MST.)

I'd like to know exactly what is in your ass.

I truly believe that our ethics can and DO change as we grow older and parent. I was once a very narrow-minded, intolerant person...my views have changed dramatically as I raise the little people in my life. I finally have come to understand that MY upbringing made me what I am, but that doesn't mean I have to stay that way. And the way I bring up my kids can be very different. They are more accepting and they will be living in a much different world than I do now. Just as my parents lived in a different world.
After reading the comments at mothergoose, I was rather appalled. I guarantee that many of those comments were intended to "scare you into righteousness"...but by all rights, you do what you need to do. Yeah, you kept the duck, didn't want to deal with the whole sleeping kid (hey - remember when parents left us in cars to go pay for GAS?), I've been known to do the same. All those commenters choose to pass judgement before looking behind THEIR doors for the dust bunnies that are hidden there.
Wish I could stay up and listen...I might still TRY!!!

Not only am I dropping the gloves but I'm taking off the tiara too so i can fully embrace the 'keep it real'. (and I'll be petting my own special duckie that I didn't pay for either during the show)
Can't wait until tonight!
Posted by: Heather | June 27, 2007 at 09:31 AM
I'd love to listen, but while you get to do your thing, it's past my bedtime LOL Seriously, not turning because no signal? Riiiiight. LOL
