It seems you've bonded well, not only with the people in your community, but with the kids in the youth group as well. It's great to know that there are people you can count on when you need them the most.

I got a job a few months back, and before that I was a stay-at-home dad while my wife works outside of the home. Thankfully, my wife never belittled me for choosing to stay home with the kids instead of finding a "real" job. She could see the improvement in the kids' behavior and their grades...

Getting a hobby that you really enjoy creates an exhilarating feeling. Your wife is right, you should find time for yourself to just relax and unwind. It wouldn't make you a bad father if you devote at least one night (or day) a week to do something for yourself.

Did your brother say that you actually have to pay for your own dinner? If it's his kid's birthday and he's asking you and your family to come, then I'm guessing, dinner is free for all of you. Just don't forget the gift. Kids dig that.

When I was working in the Call Center industry a couple of years ago, an office mate walked up to my cubicle and handed me the key to her apartment, and told me flirtatiously not to be late. When I got over my initial shock, I smiled, shook my head and pointed at my ring. She got the message...

The library near us is sort of a museum, it's prehistoric :D I don't even have the heart to touch the books there because I might break the covers (or the books pages). My kids are voracious readers. We take them to their favorite bookstore every couple of weeks. I wish we have huge...

Whether we like it or not, morning sickness is really a part of pregnancy. I'm glad my wife was a trouper who never complained, even when she was throwing up every few minutes while pregnant.

I knew I've been putting up something too long when I get my "honey do" list. :) The wife doesn't nag, but she makes it clear when I've been neglecting my "duties." The first one on the list this week was replacing the pipes in the sink. Stinky job, but it brought a smile to my honey's face.

I agree with most of the guys here, if it was just that one time, then I think it's okay to let it pass. However, it should be made clear to your wife why you didn't approve of her feeding your child junk food. It was not overreaction on your part, but honest concern for the welfare of your kid.

Nice one, fairbjosh! :) I wish I've read something like this when I was starting out as a Dad. Anyhow, it was also great to learn as I went along with the role. One thing I realized though, nothing will ever prepare you for the adventures (and misadventures) of parenthood, you have to...

No, any steamer will do. I only use the simple one and the fish still comes out all juicy :) You can try experimenting with the sauce, too. It would make the fish fillet so much yummier.

It's really convenient for a breastfeeding mother to have her baby on the bed with her. My wife breastfed all our children and what she did was to roll over to the baby's side when he or she needed feeding. This was a much easier set-up because it saved my wife time from picking up the baby or...

I am more of the disciplinarian at our house. My wife is such a softie when it comes to the kids, but when she's the one mad, everyone becomes meek as lambs.

I saw this poster on the net with a father surrounded by doctors and nurses in a hospital's delivery room. One nurse was cuddling a baby. At the bottom of the poster it says something like: A mother's wish come true. Or something to that effect. That poster is funny. Can you imagine...

Don't worry, all pregnant women are like this. This is only a phase, so I suggest you just learn to be more understanding with her needs and demands. Pregnancy is the time when women are at their most sensitive. They think weird things, act or talk without thinking (most of the time). Just...

From this part of the globe, babies are expected to sleep on their parents' bed until they are about four or five. That's the normal, accepted process. Of course, we also have our share of waking up every few hours or so when the baby is hungry or wet. Usually, I'm the one who gets up and...

I frown on "baby talk" too, but even if we don't practice it at home, when we visit friends and relatives, they can't help themselves from doing it.

I saw on Talk TV today that there are videos of children fighting, which are going viral on the net. One video is of a six and eight year old who were kicking and boxing each other as if their lives depended on it. What's horrible is that a male adult was the one filming the whole thing and...

My wife and I had our first baby before we got married, so naturally my daughter asked us why we had her first. I was at a loss for words when she asked this question, but thankfully, my wife had a ready answer for her. She explained to our daughter that we fell madly in love with each other...

Good point, Victor. You would think these media people would know better since they have access to different kinds of people to interview and topics to research on. I'm sure they're aware how women and men's roles have dramatically intertwined over the years. Oh well, old habits die hard as...
