Why?

So you're asking " Why a single Dad for a Blog?" Why not? You can pick up any of dozens of parenting magazines and the majority of what you'll find is from the women's perspective. Single, wishing she were single, to happily married. Sure some of the stories are helpful for Dads as well but the truth is there are more and more single fathers out there that actually want to raise their kids. We're not all dead beats like the news and the courts think.

I love being a father to my son. When asked " If money wasn't a problem what would you do?" Start my own business? Explore the world? Try out for my favorite sport alla Michael Jordan? No, not even close. I know exactly what I would do. I would spend more time with my son. Maybe work part time at his Day Care!

Yeah I know what you're saying, " This Guy is Gay! He needs to get a life!"

Well I have a life. A great life! The fact is my son is growing up. Fast! One day he will move on and raise a family of his own and all this time I spend with him will be just a memory. A memory I intend to never forget. The diaper changes, the vomit all over the car, the staying up all night with a fever, trips to the doctor, temper tantrums, first steps, first words, potty training, all of it.
You see God gave me a gift, a healthy handsome wonderfull happy boy, and I thank him every day.

Now go kiss your kids and call your momma! (Jeff Foxworthy)

it's also good for single moms to read about "the other side" he he he. Just kidding about the viscious tone, but really, I have a friend who is a single dad and it is really cool to talk to him about how he feels and it helps me be more sensitive to my jerk ex-husband
