Well, does he have a lot of children? The more kids you have, the more difficult it is to be a stay at home father. Cleaning, cooking and doing things around the house can be just as exhausting as having an office job. Don't blame your friend for sticking to taking care of the kids. Sure, it is...

Out house has only two floors, so I would say that cleaning takes me about an hour and a half, because my wife helps out a bit as well. Cleaning the yard takes a little longer, but luckily we don't have to do that every day...

My brother was a stay at home father for about a year, and he was a bit ridiculed by his work colleagues when he returned to his job. Well, they were his buddies, so he didn't get mad and showed them that he could take a joke. Nevertheless, I really think there should be something done to make...

Which gender do you think it is generally easier for a stepfather to bond with? Do you think it matters whether it is a boy or a girl, when it comes to accepting you as their new dad? They say stepsons are less accepting, because they regard their biological father as a hero who cannot be...

The legal aspects of a divorce usually take some time. What is best for the children during the divorce process, until the law decides who wins the custody? To be separated (one remains with the dad, the other with the mom), or to stay both of them with one parent?

I came across this question in a magazine the other day. I don't know whether you've thought about this before, but I thought it would be nice to reflect a little upon our skills as a parent. So, if you were to rate yourself as a father, on a scale from one to ten (1 = terrible; 10 =...

I agree. I've always told my children how much I love (well, actually the word is "adore") them, and my wife - needless to say - did so twice as much. They never seemed to mind the fact that their parents showed them affection. Their still young (8 and 5 years old). I know they will appreaciate...

I've noticed that both my children have their own preferences when it comes to fruits. I don't know why they are so picky. My son particularly enjoys peaches and nectarines, while my daughter adores watermelons. She could eat a couple of them everyday. I've noticed some of my friends'...

Well, there are generally two important things to consider when deciding whether to temporarily separate or get a divorce. The first one is represented by the feelings the two partners have for each other. If there is still love withing the relationship, there is still a possibility for working...

What's his wife's opinion about this situation? Does she know about it, and does she approve it? I'm sure that most responsible women would have something to say against having such a lazy husband. I hope that the grandparents take good care of the child; otherwise the kid might feel neglected...

Of course I shared her pain. I tried to do everything I could to make her feel better. During her first pregnancy she had morning sickness until the fourth month. And the food craving that followed was just as bad... I don't even remember how many times I had to drive to the store and get her...

I think children shouldn't have pets before going to school. Kindergarten is not a real responsibility for them, but the first year of school usually teaches them what it means to be organized and responsible for tasks and homework. Once they start getting used to taking care of themselves at...

My children don't like them very much, so we hardly purchase granola bars. My dad is a doctor and he is very concerned about nutrition. I think he warned us about granola bars not being as healthy as they are advertised...

Well, anything is better than an alarm clock... :p But - all joking aside - I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels so proud to be a father when greeted by a beautiful little grin every morning. Like my dad used to say, life seems to make 99 percent more sense when you see your children smiling.

To be honest, I think 10 to 12 hours is too much. None of my children ever slept that much. How old is your son? And is he showing signs of being tired, or are you just assuming that?
