The Harry Potter Generation
An excerpt from this article: http://thefederalist.com/2014/09/15/the-harry-potter-generation/ Denying that kids do best when both biological parents raise them is not just naïve, it’s cruel and abusive. It doesn’t matter who raises children as long as they have money and basic parenting skills.…
Feminism vs. Truth
Women in America are the freest in the world, yet many feminists tell us women are oppressed. They advocate this falsehood through victim mentality propaganda and misleading statistics, such as the gender wage gap myth. In five minutes, ‘s Christina…
The Father Project

Bill Cosby-Fatherhood and Parenting
Bill Cosby describes being a father and the frustrations of parenthood. Pieced together from his classic stand up concert film “Bill Cosby: Himsef”.
Happy pre-Father’s Day!
I could save this for Sunday but this is what life is all about. Kids need their mother AND their father.
For all of you reading this who are pissed off at your ex for whatever reason, your children aren’t. They will always be in a search for the other half of their DNA in one way or another if one half isn’t a constant presence in their lives.
The good thing about this video is that these parents are working together.
If you aren’t able to do what you see in this video, find a way. Separate your pain from your child’s need for balance.
I could go on and on and on, but you can visit by blog or call me on the phone for more reasons why fathers matter.
Happy pre-Father’s Day!

The World’s Toughest Job
Here is a different take on that silly viral video that was an advertisement for greeting cards…a thing that I DETEST anyway.
Motherhood is NOT the most difficult job. It’s not even a job. Neither is fatherhood. The thing is, parenting is not a job at all. It has some things in common with a job, but it’s a whole different thing altogether. As parents, we don’t get paid, we can’t quit if we get angry or pissed off, we can’t look around for better parenting jobs, we can’t sue our employer. In fact, we don’t even have an employer! We don’t have the option of not taking our work home with us when we don’t want to, we don’t receive any training, etc.
So to start with, the whole idea of parenthood being a job is nonsense from the beginning. Then, to go on and on with exaggerating the amount of work and expertise needed to be a parent, it not only creates guilt on the part of parents, it also makes it seem like the best parents are the ones who treat their kids as helpless and endangered for as long as possible. The quicker we raise self-sufficient, self-reliant human beings, the better. It is better for parents, better for children and better for society in general.
I can see through the nonsense of bullshit advertisement schemes and I hope that you do too in the future.
