When Did Parents Become Pansies?

I don’t know what made me think of this but all day I was wondering “when did parents become pansies?”.  By this I mean, when did parenting become what it is today? Parents now worry about things unthinkable when we (parents born in the 70′s or before) were babies, toddlers and little kids. This is …

Parenting: A Change in Technique

All for One and One for All!

Last week my wife came home after spending a weekend with the kids at a relative’s house and once the kids went to bed, she announced a revelation of sorts to me. She told me that she felt that she was too easy on the kids and that I have become numb to the point …

Where did my FOOTBALL SUNDAYS go?

Fatherhood has screwed up so many of my plans for life and I can deal with it for the most part BUT Sunday is football day! I remember a time when I would wake up, maybe get out of bed, maybe even shower and then spend the day watching football, uninterrupted. There were times when …

Fatherhood’s Perfect Dream and Nightmare

The Face on an Angel but the Mind of...something else!

Jordan-Rose (Jordy) just turned four in May and it has been both GREAT and well….NOT SO GREAT. From the time she was born she was certainly a handful. Soon after birth she was diagnosed with “Acid Reflux”, lucky us. I quickly learned that “Acid Reflux” was a synonym for many words, including pain in the …

A Father’s Place of Serenity

Once a place of serenity......NOT ANY MORE!

As a father of three kids 6 years old and younger, I do not have many places in which I can go to escape the craziness in my home. There is 1 place that I go in which I truly wish not to be bothered and that is the bathroom! Why is it that any …

Fatherhood Makes Me Think…..

My father, my son Corey (the youngest), and mother - taken about 1 week before my father died

Since I entered fatherhood on July 23, 2003, I have thought back a lot to my childhood. I always saw my father as larger then life. I never looked at him as a person; he was my dad. He was the guy that taught me things, played with me, helped me, yelled at me, punished …

How Fatherhood Began for Me

Just a funny pic!

Being a father was something I really looked forward to for nine months. One night in July of 2003, my wife kicked me out of my bed for excessive snoring. She was ready to pop and in no mood to hear my house shaking snorts, grunts and gasps. So being the wonderful husband I am …
