The Rookie Dad ― Lately, I feel like there is just not enough time. It is not a result of the Kid though. Many parents of an 18 month old would blame it on them but I can not do that to him now. I can only put the blame on myself. Now that I am working 9-5 when [...]

The Rookie Dad ― This has been a very strange week. Then Wednesday decided to rear an ugly head. The Kid awoke burning up, which I failed to notice when I went to get him. How I missed this one I do not know. Hot Mama takes the Kid’s temperature and he is...

The Rookie Dad ― This morning, was a morning in which I failed before I even woke up. It is about 5:45am and there is a whimper coming from the baby monitor. I let the whimper continue for just a few minutes to see if he would go back to sleep, the Kid was not. I...
