Sherry over at Inside Motherhood posted quite an interesting list of her pet peeves about how society portrays dads. Not quite what I expected from a motherhood blog, but right on! She makes some great points as these things make me mad, as well.
Peeve number 1, dads are portrayed as inept.
How many commercials […]
The National Fatherhood Initiative has a listing of the top fatherhood facts. As I looked over the list I was immediately struck by how negative the list is. It focuses primarily on the side effects of bad fathers and broken homes rather than the positive influence of involved and caring dads. I’m just rather […]
In an unbelievable commentary on society, Consumer Genetics of Sunnyvale, California is now selling paternity and genetics tests that can be “performed” at home. I put performed in quotes because the home part involves pilfering anything from a strand of hair from a brush to ABC (already been chewed) chewing gum and sending it in […]
Paternal Life has a good article out about being a True Father taken from Steve Biddulph.
A ‘true’ father is much more than your child’s friend. Your love, commitment to and involvement in your daughter’s life is unshakeable. Whatever happens, you will be there for her, as long as you live. So, you have to […]
It is no doubt that after having 5 kids I have all the time in the world to play. I gain hours of reading time, coloring, and even stacking blocks. What else did I gain? A few pounds.
Though I have worked hard to lose weight I tend to bounce around which is actually not […]
As a dad of 5 kids and one who loves the outdoors I spend my time when online reading through both parenting type blogs and outdoor type blogs. One of the blogs I read is a new one based out of Arizona called Bow Hunting Maniac. This Father’s Day Garth, the author of the blog, […]
I added a question mark at the end of the title only to articulate this as a question rather than a statement. I found an article through Revolution Health about men facing depression. Apparently 6 million American men will be diagnosed with depression this year alone. But the stats say even more will suffer through […]
Something to think about for this upcoming Father’s Day. Taken from Wikipedia.
In the United States, the first modern Father’s Day celebration was held on July 5, 1908, in Fairmont, West Virginia. [1][2] It was first celebrated as a church service at Williams Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church South, now known as Central United Methodist Church. […]
I have read this many times before and thought I would share this with you. You may have seen this one before too as it is quite popular but I thought this really portrays how being a father really is.
“One night a father overheard his son pray:
Dear God, Make me the kind of man […]
That should read “a stiff drink”. I have heard this book is hilarious and I plan on getting it and reading it real soon. Anybody here heard of it or read it?
It is called Daddy Needs a Drink: An Irreverent Look at Parenting from a Dad Who Truly Loves His Kids– Even When They’re Driving […]
