I’ve already been told repeatedly that once my son is born I will never sleep again, ever, and I’ve accepted that. I don’t sleep a ton now because there’s always something going on between my full-time job and a tightly scheduled life.
However, contrary to what so many people espouse as the worst part of […]
I’ve seen a lot of blogs ooh-ing and ahh-ing over Eddie Vedder’s recent quote that fatherhood “fueled his anger.” It makes for a great headline that makes him look like an angry person that hates kids.
You can’t be one of the figureheads of the Seattle grunge movement without a healthy amount of angst, but it’s […]
I came across this quote which I think encapsulates some of my opinion about the home paternity tests. I don’t think many people consider much beyond the conception part and then end up in less than ideal situations which end up compromising the health and happiness of a child.
“It is much easier to become a […]
The word couvade is derived from the early French word couver, “to hatch.” The practical modern vernacular for this word is “getting fat with mom.” Experts attribute expectant fathers gaining weight during pregnancy to everything from a sympathetic reaction to pregnancy hormones to a psychosomatic response.
However, as I found myself eating grilled cheese sandwiches […]
Some of the most formative ideals which have shaped me as a person have come from fatherly advice. My dad has a great way of encapsulating concepts in a few easily-digestible and practical words. One particularly aphoristic quote from my father that has always stuck with me is:
What’s right is right, even when nobody […]
Just a reminder, I’ve got a six question fatherhood survey from which I will be sharing results and extracts. It will only take a moment and is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

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 […]
Nothing like taking your son or daughter fishing. It is a great way to bond, get to know your child, and just get some good quality time in with them and teach them the finer things in life. Nothing like seeing your own children experience these wonderful moments. Check out Chris Cobbett and his son […]
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 […]
A couple weekends ago was the very first Dadstock event. The Daily Herald interviewed Todd Krater in an article last week.
“Originally it was designed to just be a local thing,” says Todd Krater, a stay-at-home Lakemoor father who organized Dadstock. “It’s starting to snowball.”
I know Todd from the Dad Stays Home Forum, and he then […]
