A few weeks ago, I posted my first entry regarding The Man-ual. In this post, I pledged to de-bunk many of the myths that men either perpetuate or hide behind for personal benefit. My first entry on this topic was about the crass locker room banter, which many believe is a constant but … [Read more...]
The Great One
Sometimes, I'll meet someone whom I find intimidating. It can be someone I work with, perhaps, who has a ton of experience and industry knowledge. It may be someone I meet at a party, who has interesting stories to tell whereas mine aren't so great. But, I've never really bumped … [Read more...]
Two large bags please
Amanda, the latest blogger to join the urbanmoms.ca family, is in mid-pregnancy and recently wrote an entry about cravings. In this entry, which you can find here, she said: "Husbands cater to the whims of their ravenous wives' cravings and rush to 7-11 at midnight to pick up a Coke … [Read more...]
Update re: Pea’s Cold
A couple of posts ago, I wrote an angry letter to the cold that was infecting my little Pea. I made some serious threats, including the use of antibiotics and acetaminophen, in an attempt to bully the cold into leaving my little girl alone.I have good news to report! Not long after I … [Read more...]
Dare to Dream
Maybe it's a stereotype, but many of the women I know seem to have an elaborate, well planned and thorough idea of what the key 'first moments' in their life are going to be like. I think it starts with the first crush, then the first kiss, then prom, and then the timeline gets a little … [Read more...]
She’s sick. Again. Now I’m miffed.
A letter to the cold that is currently plaguing my sweet, innocent little Pea: Cold, (note the intentional lack of a formal greeting, such as "Dear" or "Mr") You [expletive deleted] son-of-a-[expletive deleted]! YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE! How dare you enter my child's body and plague … [Read more...]
It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it
Warning: today's post will probably offend some of you... in a good way though, not like my previous post on defending men who sleep through a baby's cries at night, which seems to have offended many of you in a bad way. :) Since becoming a father, I've often asked my fellow parents for … [Read more...]
Like Father, Like Son? Sorry.
Being a Dad who publicly comments on his misgivings and failures as a father often leaves me lonely and questioning myself... am I the only guy that feels this way? Maybe I should just shut up and pretend I know what I am doing. What if Pea inherits all the things about me that I don't … [Read more...]
Honey, is the baby crying?
I just read Sarah's post regarding the fact that men are hardwired not to hear a baby crying at night. If you haven't read it yet, please do. It's a good post. I'll give you a moment. ... On this topic, I feel compelled to speak out on behalf of my gender, and … [Read more...]
Daddy-the-disciplinarian
It all started just before Christmas. While I was changing Pea's diaper one afternoon, she started grabbing at the photo frames hanging on the wall. She got a hold of one of them and swung it to the point that it almost fell off the wall. I warned her. "No, please leave the frames … [Read more...]
