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.

Making Friends Like a Man

Have you ever noticed how easy it is for many women to make friends of other women? Most seem to be innately tuned into the social steps necessary to establish and maintain relationships. Men on the other hand, not so much.

Don’t Rob Your Kids

A lot of parents rob from their children. I don’t mean they take money or possessions, I mean they take opportunities for growth. And they do it with the best of intentions.

The Pressure of Being a Good Husband and Dad

I’m almost thirty-seven. I’m a man, and I’m a husband and father. I find myself thinking very frequently what these things mean, not only in my own life but also in life in general. It makes me think about things like pressure, responsibility and duty.

Fitness for Dads: Dad, What’s for Dinner?

It’s 5pm. You’re still at work, but tonight you’re supposed to make dinner. The last thing you want to do is order pizza because that’s what you did last night and you can’t bear to ask your wife to cook again this week because TONIGHT is the only night you’re responsible to feed the family. It also happens to be the day that your meeting ran through lunch so you couldn’t pop down to the gym for your workout.

Raising Daughters

Alright, parents, it’s confession time: As dads raising daughters, we’re all at an immediate disadvantage because we’ve never known what it’s like to grow up as a little girl.

Whining Drives Me Crazy

I love my kids very much. I would die for my kids. If they ask me nicely, I would do anything for my kids. When they whine though, it drives me crazy!

Knowing When the Job is Done

One of the things I hope to do as he’s growing up is to teach my young son how to do a job the right way, from start to finish. I’d like to teach him about starting well, executing well, and finishing well.
