    Parenting Sucks and I Love It

    Bob Wire November 24, 2020 daddy-o

    By Bob Wire. Make no mistake, parenting is rewarding, but it’s also serious business with a constant onslaught of surprises and dilemmas.

    Thoughts on Time

    Andrew Davison October 30, 2020 daddy-o

    By Andrew Davidson. For me I have a new awareness for the preciousness of life and time with my children and family. I don’t know what path lies ahead of me. I am focused on getting this cancer out and healing. I am told that it will be a pretty significant recovery.

    That’s Cynicism, Folks!

    David Vienna October 10, 2020 daddy-o

    By David Vienna. If the teen developmental stage of reacting negatively to society is truly a common one, if all of us are at some point destined to lampoon culture as we see it, modern teens will be rebutting a parody of the world.

    You’re Not Alone

    Elroy Davis July 2, 2019 daddy-o

    I see articles all the time about working moms. They're frazzled, trying to balance home life and a career. They're under-appreciated, overworked, and stressed. Ladies, you're not alone. Every morning at daycare I see a herd of men dropping off their kids.

    Thanks Harry

    Todd Smith June 15, 2019 daddy-o

    While I’m completely comfortable with my own lameness, Morris’ e-mail still gnawed at me a little. Was I the only loser parent at home on a Friday night watching the ABC Family Channel?
