Sperm donor to father own grandchild

This has got to be one of the stranger news stories I’ve heard in quite a while. A 72 year old English man is donating sperm to his infertile son’s wife. The man’s son will be the genetic half-brother to the baby.
I’m keeping other comments to a minimum, but it brings up lots of […]

Barack Obama on fatherhood

This is not a political endorsement for against him, but aside from his political roles as senator and presidential candidate, Barack Obama is a father and (obviously) a son.

Kevin Federline awarded custody of children

While not the proudest moment in male parenting history, a court awarded Kevin Federline custody of the children he has with Britney Spears. That’s right folks, Kevin Federline is the best parent those kids have.
A textbook example of the lesser of two evils, a judge awarded custody to Federline after Britney Spears was caught driving […]

A Baldwin brother’s view on fatherhood

Yesterday was Father’s Day in Nepal

I inadvertently let it slip by without a mention, but September 11, 2007 was Father’s Day in Nepal.
Less than two weeks after Australia and New Zealand celebrate dads this year, the Nepalese celebrate Father’s Day on the “New Moon of September (Bhadra as per Lunar Calendar).”
Happy (belated) Father’s Day to dads in Nepal!

Despite rumors that their marriage is not doing well, Brangelina is pushing forward with their plans to raise their own village. That’s right, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie trying for another kid. I think it’s great that they love children so much, but how can two people with such busy, globe trotting schedules possibly take […]
