How to Deal with Getting Fired
Life is full of challenges, and parents teach their kids a lot by how they deal with adversity. Here is one Dad’s story about How to Deal with Getting Fired: I work in marketing and advertising. This means I get fired. A lot. Unfortunately, being laid off comes with the territory in this career field. Over the years, I’ve read many books on transitioning, job-seeking, interviewing and networking, but I have yet to come across any literature that deals with how to gracefully deal with getting canned.

Servant Leadership and Fatherhood
Implementing the 5 Ways of Being to my role as a father has both challenged and enhanced the relationship I have with my kids. At times, it would be easier to abandon these principles in favor of an easier path, perhaps something along the lines of Bill Cosby’s comedic assertion that “parents just want peace!” The problem is peace through pacification or power rarely works, whereas taking the time to apply the 5 Ways of Being through love and accountability always produces a better result in the end.

What’s Cooking Dad?
While it may seem like more work to have your kids helping to prepare a meal, and it often is – particularly when they’re little – in the end you’ll benefit from having a helper, someone who will be self-sufficient, and who might even cook dinner for you once in awhile.

New Year Quotes to Inspire Dad
The dawning of a New Year always brings me hope. And while I’m not one to make resolutions, I do believe in the importance of goals, inspiration and motivation. To me, it is critical for husbands and fathers to set a positive tone and example for the family, especially during times of uncertainty.

5 Ways to Prepare Your Kids for a New Sibling
Last April my wife and I received an unexpected reality check: We were pregnant. Again. I’ll be honest with you, it took us a few weeks to warm up to the idea of a third child. We were happy with the two children, and the even numbers made it easy for my wife and I to divide and conquer when it came to bed time and other parental routines.

Do men really avoid doing housework? Do we really think that cleaning the house is a woman’s job? I mean, come on, we’re in the 21st Century now, so how many men honestly believe that it is not their responsibility to participate in keeping their house clean and organized?

It’s been a while since I ran a giveaway for readers. It’s not that I haven’t had opportunities, but the ones presented just haven’t seemed right for the site lately. Everyone loves pets though, and my kids instantly took to this fun new book by David Catrow called Max Spaniel: Dinosaur Hunt.

Founding Fathers and Their Families
On July 4, 1776, the birth of a great nation was signified by the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The Fourth of July has always been a favorite holiday for me. I remember anxiously anticipating fire works displays and patriotic parades, but most importantly I remember spending time together as a family celebrating life in the greatest country on Earth.

Dads and Daughters – Make a Decision Already
I usually sprinkle my posts with apologies and disclaimers designed to absolve myself of horrible wrongdoings and complete obliteration of everything that can be remotely considered good parenting. But this time I actually know what I’m talking about. I make mistakes when parenting.
