The long, lazy days of summer come to an end when it’s back to school time.

A new study found that parents who are aggressive with each other are more likely to spank their kids. Within this study, spousal aggression doesn’t necessarily mean domestic…

You’re busy paying bills, taking care of the house and keeping up with your work while your child is outside riding their scooter.
