When Dad Is Mum Too

Nineteen things to say to your children…

1. I love you! There is nothing that will make me stop loving you. Nothing you could do or say or think will ever change that.
2. You are amazing! I look at you with wonder! Not just at what you can do, but who you are. There is no one like you. No one!
3. It’s all right to cry. People cry for all kinds of reasons: when they are hurt, sad, glad, or worried; when they are angry, afraid, or lonely. Big people cry too. I do.

I’m Sorry Dad [Poetry D6]

I’m Sorry Dad,
I was never the right person to give you everything
I am sorry for saying those things to you
I know it hurts you ’cause I can see it in your eyes
But it’s like they say; Pay backs a bitch
You are getting hit with everything that happen to me
It sucks to say that
But it’s true,

For Dad [Poetry D2]

Fathers are there when you’re small to carry you home
And to make sure you’re never left alone
Fathers are there to photograph your first day of school
To make you do your homework even if the other kids say it’s uncool
Fathers are there to tell you to learn to play guitar
And to teach you how to drive a car

Cute Or Bad Parenting? Kids Grinding at a Party

I Am Your Child!

I am a child of divorce. My parent`s divorce became finalized in 1969 when I was six years old. My mother was granted sole custody and my father never fought it.

I am writing this because I wish to see change. Change in a system that helped to alter my relationship with my father for the duration of our lives. Our lives, he being 600 miles away at 52 years old, seem all too short.

We started out fairly normal. I remember watching a football game with him, smelling my mom`s pot roast in the air, being carried around on his shoulders, waiting for him to come home from work. A father-daughter relationship firmly rooted for growth.

My Potty Book For Boys [Book Review]

It was the first potty training book that read.  Lewis had just turned 2 at the time. Borrowed from our local library we’d gone there specifically looking ofr a potty training  book after being adviced to read one by a friend who i’d shared my concerned about a previous unsuccessfully attempt at potty training.

Men’s genes ‘may limit lifespan’

mmmh those mad scientists are at it again… this time claiming that men have a specific gene that allows us to grow bigger boddies but at the expense of longevity and that this gene is only passed down by our sperm.

Potty Training

My son is 2 and 4 months and i feel time is running out  for him to start using the potty. i feel under pressure to teach him the his toilet skills. either he learns to do it now or be laughed at by other parents .

Parenting Skills: Learnt OR Instinct?

Parenting… everyone’s got their own definition to it.

when i took over the care of my son a year ago the fear of failing him as a parent kicked in, i was so scared of not doing it right the first time round and turning out like my parents. for many years i’d promised myself to be a better parent than mine were to me.
