I don’t know why, but I haven’t really talked about a major deadline that my wife and I are facing. On October 28, Quentin Xavier is due to be born. And, as everyone knows, a due date is really just a guess, so he could be born at any moment. I had planned to [...] Image via Wikipedia I’ve seen a lot of posts regarding the author’s idea of what makes a man, how to be a man, the definition of masculinity, or some variation upon the theme. So I thought I’d chime in. You want to know how to be a man? Stop reading posts like [...] Nick‘s school and ADHD saga continues. We’ve taken a relaxed approach, acknowledging that not being able to shut up or sit still sometimes or just zoning out and not always hearing adults when they’re telling him what to do is just part of Nick’s personality. In general, we don’t punish him for those things [...] Photo courtesy of Sean Drellinger You’re having a rough day. You may be getting sick, the house is a mess, you’re exhausted, and the kids are being monsters. You need to vent, so you post to Facebook or Twitter that your children just might have to die. A few hours later, you get [...] Image via Wikipedia My wife has lost count of the times she’s been told “Wow, I wish my husband would do that.” My wife is envied, and an envied wife is a happy wife that appreciates her husband and lets him do things like attempt a freelance writing business from home because [...] Image via Wikipedia I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the tagline of this blog lately. ”Raising the dungeonmasters of tomorrow” would imply that I’m raising my children to be geeks. The problem is that, while I talk about my geeky interests and talk about raising the kids, I very rarely [...] As I’ve mentioned, Nick started kindergarten this year. He seems to like school, but he’s had some behavior problems. Nothing overly serious, mostly the same minor issues he’s had for as long as I’ve known him, only… more so. His teacher doesn’t seem too worried and has written most things off as him needing [...] Getting our walk on Because I’ve been horrible about updating, you probably don’t know that Nick started kindergarten this month. His adjustment to the school‘s rules and routines has been…interesting. But that’s a post for another day. I’ve had to do some adjusting, too. The school is five blocks from our house, and [...] Via BoingBoing, I came across two free, online games – both commissioned by British Broadcaster Channel 4 – designed to help teens explore and form their own views on concepts that not many parents discuss with their children. Taken from The End’s press page: The End is a free, online web-game commissioned by Channel 4 Education, [...] I was on full Daddy duty this weekend. As soon as Nick got out of school Friday afternoon, he and I jumped in the car and drove nine hours from Gulfport, MS, to Clermont, FL, for Jude’s birthday. I was slightly worried about having to deal with a cranky five-year old in the car [...]  |
