Comments on: What is a Parent? http://mattdaddy.net/2008/09/16/what-is-a-parent/ info that bounces inside my brain that makes sense to me, maybe you.

Can't rid of me that easily. Seriously, keep it up. Writing is a process and we all need to go through the process. Take a little from here and there and soon you'll develop your style. I like my writing style that I'm working on. Thank God my wife is an English teacher. She does the occasional edit for me. Not content be grammer and spelling, I am the worst. I think we have three types of dads out here in cyberspace. The ones like Tyler who are new, you who have the grade schoolers and I who have the teenagers. I think we all can learn from each other. Keep it up... You knew I was going to follow you to your new site. Can’t rid of me that easily.

I think if the children in our lives know that they can count on us and that we love them then we are doing a good job already. So many kids seem like an afterthought in their parents lives. If we are doing everything we can to teach them how to be self-sufficient individuals someday then you are way ahead of the game. From what I've read, you and Fae are stellar parents. Oh and kudos for encouraging Fae to get out. Some moms I know have the opportunity but refuse to leave their kids with the dad. I agree that everyone needs a break from the parenting thing occasionally and have some strictly adult time. We all make mistakes as parents.

Hell, I'm not only bad at writing, my spelling also sucks and my grammar = major FAIL! I've become more self conscious about it since my boss, brother-in-law, sister-in-law and Facebook friends all know about my blog. It's good to hear that other dads make mistakes. With a newborn @ home life gets a little hectic and I'm quick to snap at my oldest (who turns 3 in October) and then I feel like crap 5 minutes later!
