One of our goals here at Life of Dad is to be a safe place for dads to get help, advice, a laugh, support, ideas, and/or aspirations, and it's times like this, when a single dad asked for tips on introducing the new woman in his life to his child, [...]
It’s almost that time of year, when we each decide what we need to quit; smoking, cursing, farting in public, hookers (wait, what?). That’s what most New Year’s resolutions are, right? Things we gotta stop doing? But if you really can't quit smoking, you can try out the Medical [...]
I'm on record as saying, and I'm going to be obnoxious and quite myself now, "if you aren't growing alongside your kid, then you're doing parenting wrong". Being a dad is a learning experience from conception to when they go off to college or move out to get a job, [...]

Athletes and bands aren't the only things/people that can be underrated, although The Afghan Whigs WERE critically underrated during the 90's.
