5. For the past few weeks, we've had some lively onsite conversations on everything ranging from andtoand on our Mom's Talk Q&A, a live chat that runs on the site every Wednesday afternoon. But we're thinking of changing the title to give it a more all-inclusive feel (i.e., to prevent the guys from cringing and running away screaming). What do you think we should rename the series? Should we create a separate Dad's Talk Q&A? Please comment below or email your ideas to erins@patch.com.
