We’ve built cages that look like classrooms and called them launchpads. We hand our kids scripts wrapped in diplomas and wonder why they choke on the lines. Parenting today feels like training cubs for a jungle that’s already on fire—offering advice that worked for a world that no longer exists. But what if the goal isn’t to prepare them to succeed in the Matrix… but to wake them up from it?
Ever wonder if there’s more to family dynamics than just shared genes and learned behaviors? Parenting often feels like threading through a web of entanglements, where the past wraps around the present, and the future hangs in delicate balance.
Navigating the Murky Waters of Food Safety: What Every Parent Needs to Know
It’s hard to believe that my late-talking son, who didn’t start speaking until age 5, is now talking my ear off. He’s 10 years old and now that he’s caught […]
A short story about having to grow up too fast.
Should parents pass on traditions to their children with no thought for tomorrow? Times have changed, so why do we try to stay the same?
Modern technology hasn’t just changed the landscape of parenting for married folks. Divorced parents are dealing with the consequences of new tech too. Believe me. I wrote another short story of Parenting sci-fi to give you a sense of where things are going.
As a divorced dad, spending time with my kids is important, but most employers don’t share my values on this issue. They never have. Parents are no longer willing to sell the time we have with our kids for chump change. Can our society and economy finally change to support this need?
You can use the Pandemic to your advantage. It doesn’t have to all suck. Use covid to hide your mistakes as a parent. It’s fun!
Opposable thumbs, tool making, and higher emotions are not what set humans apart from other species. We are a ‘parenting’ ape. A homo-patricius, if you will, who spends a great deal of effort raising its kids and passing on knowledge.
This is the first of a series of Sci-fi shorts that I plan on writing, which cover a wide range of modern parenting topics. Hope you enjoy it.
My half-blooded Sioux ancestor, Mary Sully, took on the United States government and won! You won’t find her story listed in any history books, so I wanted to take the time to tell it.
Is being a stay-a-home dad a career that a divorced dad should aspire to? In the time of coronavirus, can we look at parenting in a new way?
As a dad and veteran with two kids, I used to worry about telling people I have PTSD. Would they still think of me as a fit parent? Or maybe people wouldn’t even believe I had experienced trauma? In this post I try to tell my story.
People who don’t “work” and provide housework have always been exploited and underappreciated. But did you know that there was once a women’s movement that demanded wages for housework?
Can quantum physics give us a new understanding of how to parent? How the power of observation might affect your child’s potential.
Becoming a father can change you in ways you never imagined. Research has proven that men experience physical changes almost as significant as a mother does.
The new generation of dads are having to live under the mantle of our fathers mistakes. When will we be recognized for the modern dads that we are?
Being a parent to a late talking child is scary. This is my story of the first time I knew that my son was going to be okay one day.
Instead of listening to an expert tell you what to do with your child, be the expert who does what the fuck you want. Don’t let statistics scare you away from co-sleeping.
