Boss,
Do you ever have fights with your baby Mumma so much that it’s almost like every interaction turns into some stupid little dispute? No matter how you approach it, no matter how nice you are…Fight after fight after fight. Since when did you become this person? Since when did the relationship even get to this point? […]
Okay, they don’t exactly live in a van, it’s called a RoadTrek and actually, as Jennifer would say, it is an adventure-mobile. For those of you who aren’t aware of what a Roadtrek is, let me fill you in. I have only seen a few of them; however, I probably spend too much time looking at pictures of these small class B motor-homes that allow travelers to adventure around the world meeting fabulous people. So, big whoop, it is just a motor-home. For those who own one, I would say they would beg to differ; however, about two years ago, I stumbled onto a new podcast called “RoadTreking: Celebrating the Small RV Lifestyle.” This podcast, produced by Mike and Jennifer Wendland, is the most informative and professional podcast I listen to. I look forward to it every single week.

The other night after dinner my oldest tells me: “I am glad Michael and Kelvin got to stay for dinner, it is late, their mom is at work, so they probably wouldn’t have had dinner.” They were beautiful words coming out of my 11-year-old mouth. I agreed with him but tried not to make a big deal out […]

Fathers, be empathetic–
labor pains are
inconceivably excruciating,
but mothers,
understand that just
as a father cannot put
himself in your body,
you cannot put yourself
in his shoes.
Know that his view
is incredible.

1. Give up your need for control – Why do we try to control things that can’t be controlled? It’s a waste of energy.
2. Give up your need to be right – Do you want to be loved or be right?

This is an interesting article about the costs of living abroad, specifically Bangkok. Inspirational decision to be focused on active fathering and engaging more directly in the life of your kids. Well done John.

It was one of those rare nights when both our daughters had sleepovers at friends’ houses. My husband, Steve, and I got dressed up and went out to dinner. The restaurant, a pricey local Italian spot with intimate tables, wasn’t exactly family friendly. And yet the party at the table next to […]
We’re not suggesting you dole out chores to your son while you crash on the couch. Instead, you have to work together. Show him how things work around the house, as well as how they’re maintained and repaired. You’ll obviously do most of the work, but let him watch while you explain the process. He’ll respect […]
The justifications for the absent dad may be plentiful but so are the consequences to his kids. [Tweet This] This is not a message to judge or to be critical of men who find themselves separated from their family. This is an encouragement to educate and to motivate men to hear the call to battle […]
Peter, a Play of the Day subscriber, shared this great fathering principle for family communication: “I told my daughter that anytime that she needs to talk to me about something and is concerned that I might get angry, that she should tell me ‘I need to talk with you and I don’t want you to get […]

In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10 year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. “How much is an ice cream sundae?” he asked. “50¢,” replied the waitress.
The little boy pulled his hand out of […]
During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions, until I read the last one: “What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?”
Surely this was some k
