3. Spanking your kids and corporal punishment. A study published in Pediatrics recently found that 65% of parents to 3 year-olds said they had spanked their child within the last month.

4. 10 things you need to know before surgery and during the hospital stay. I was a little more in disbelief when he informed me I had to have open heart surgery the next day.
