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.

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.
After a divorce, will you change the way you discipline your kids? How does a divorced dad deal out Rewards and Punishments when the landscape of parenting has changed?
