Daddyfesto: The Birth: Seven Simple Rules
http://daddyfesto.blogspot.com/2008/01/birth-seven-simple-rules.html
A blog about fatherhood from a stay-at-work dad that focuses on the absurdity and the greatness of the damn thing. January 16, 2008. The Birth: Seven Simple Rules. There are seven rules for fathers to know prior to going into the hospital for the birth of your child. As an initial matter, note that none of the rules is “be there for your wife.” Of course you should. Although actually, to me, there's also a kind of Egyptian-y, hieroglyphic- ish. I mean, you might want to wear that shirt again. Seventh, an...

Daddyfesto: Really Being a Father
http://daddyfesto.blogspot.com/2008/11/really-being-father.html
A blog about fatherhood from a stay-at-work dad that focuses on the absurdity and the greatness of the damn thing. November 16, 2008. Really Being a Father. The trick of fatherhood to me has always been trying to balance my life and my fun with my obligations to the kids and to society (to raise the kids right). I will sacrifice for my kids, but I won’t ruin myself in the process if I can help it. I think the mistake that many fathers make is that they are afraid to. Truly and fully commit. And it can...

Inappropriate Restaurant Games That I May or May Not Play With My Kids At Skyline Chili. If you don’t know about Skyline Chili; well, the simple description above does not do it justice; just go here. And come back in a minute).

Daddyfesto: The Pattern of Life
http://daddyfesto.blogspot.com/2008/07/pattern-of-life.html
A blog about fatherhood from a stay-at-work dad that focuses on the absurdity and the greatness of the damn thing. July 4, 2008. The Pattern of Life. I think I may have figured out how life goes. Once you become a preteen up until you’re age 15 or 20 or 25 or 30 or even 35, you spend a decent chunk of your life developing principles and thinking that there is a particular way that you like to live your life and molding your personality into the kind of person that you want to be. Give it all away. And ge...

A blog about fatherhood from a stay-at-work dad that focuses on the absurdity and the greatness of the damn thing. March 22, 2009. Pointing Lessons for Fathers. It’s surprising everything that fatherhood changes. Take pointing, for example. You might think that pointing would be the same for men that are fathers as it is for men that aren’t fathers, but this is not the case, at least if you are pointing at something moving. April 2, 2009 at 8:13 PM. Let me point something out to you. Please find another ...

Daddyfesto: Flashbacks in Parenting
http://daddyfesto.blogspot.com/2009/02/flashbacks-in-parenting.html
A blog about fatherhood from a stay-at-work dad that focuses on the absurdity and the greatness of the damn thing. February 16, 2009. Having these flashbacks forced into my face has brought home for me one of the downsides of parenting, which is that it contains a lot of the bad elements of being part of a family: the same elements that made most of us want to move out of our parents’ houses the minute we turned 18. As a friend. But when you’re a kid, you’re bound to your entire family as...Once you̵...

Yes, yes, I know; it’s really two days after Thanksgiving, but my family’s get together is today, Saturday. Now a terrible thing has happened. The last 12 months have made me an uncle three times over. All three of my siblings have had their firstborn children. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). GETTING CHILDREN TO EAT RIGHT.
