What do you think of the idea of a reality show that exposes fathers who refuse to pay child support? This is what divorced dad and author Joel Schwartzberg opined on a few days ago in his article, “Is it Wrong to Slam Deadbeat Dads on TV?” Cause apparently Lifetime TV has announced their intention to air such a show – it’s called Deadbeat Dads. And it has ‘dads’ rights’ activists in a tizzy. Fathers & Families, a dad-advocacy group, says the problem is that a strong m… Continue

Technically, this will be Day One and the night she flew in (Day 0.5): ~~~~~~ Technically, it’s not really “Day One” yet…so since the flight arrived at 11:15pm and she didn’t get to bed until 12:50am, I’ll consider that time Day 0.5. Sound good? She was HYPER…totally excited. Nothing much happened, but I had to take some pics (natch!):

Wow. In the midst of a painful personal decision, I’ve now been hit with another bomb. This one, however, isn’t painful in the slightest. It is, though, big. I recently received an email from my daughter’s mom. M…my 10-year-old daughter who lives in Ontario and is about to spend two weeks with me when she flies in on Friday…has been repeatedly telling her mom recently th… Continue

Ok, I admit, I am a sucker for these types of shows...or at least I used to be. Once I start watching, it becomes a gluttonous habit. So when this season rolled around, I did NOT start watching the Bachelor. For one thing, too much to do, but for another, I didn't want to get hooked. Apparently, the Bachelor is a single dad this time around. Ah haaaa, innnteresttting. For those of you who are watching, what is he doing with his kid, does he get to spend time with his kid? Anyway, the founder o… Continue

Well the "relationship" I was in only last not even a month! We broke up a month ago and have since then tried to do the friends thing. This guy doesn't know what they hell he wants. He told me that he didn't see me in his future and that feelings just weren't there. Then he tells me that he is afraid that things willl go down a certain path with us and then he feels that there will be no turning back. He has no idea what the hell he wants!!! Scott then tells me that he wants me to be in his lif… Continue

I’m happy to announce that one of my hair-brained ideas is finally seeing the light of day. BreakfastForDinner.net is my new site/blog about issues relating to single dads. I looked around and couldn’t find the type of site that would appeal to me as a single father, so I’ve created one. Hopefully, it will be a fun place for others like me to get some ideas, pancake recipes, or just waste some time and get their mind off the daily grind of meals, d… Continue

As I'm still recovering from sick-o land, I don't have enough umph to write my own blog post, so I'll share with you a fun 'how to' (we all love those!) article by David Wygant from ModernMom.com on "How to Make the Moves on That Hot Single Dad" Here are the highlights of the how-to: 1).1. Walk over and introduce yourself. Playing coy will not get you the boy. 2. Have an adult get together. Literally say this to him, "… Continue

I know a lot of single dad's that are the farthest thing from dead beats. So this post is DEFINITELY NOT about attacking baby daddys. Thru my experience on iHeart, I have had the chance to meet so many exceptional fathers whose story and dedication to their children would make any single parent proud.... Which makes this recent experience tonight with my own baby's daddy particularly shocking. It's been so long since I have had any interaction at all with Lucca's father that I almost believed I… Continue

Single dads are a different breed than single men, in a good way. A lot of great qualities come from single parenting, like being mature, responsible, caring, understanding, patient, kind. A single guy might turn out to possess these same traits. But then again, he mig… Continue
