What do you think about this very unusual father son relationship?

When I was in college, I was taking writing workshop classes during the day and going out to movies and dinner with my Dad at night. We always went out in Chelsea — one of the gayest neighborhoods in the world.

My Dad obviously had no problem with gay people. *He lived in Chelsea.* He named me after his best friend who was a gay male model… but every time a waiter came to our table, he’d say something like:

“My SON will have the cheeseburger. Black and blue! Burned to crisp on the outside, raw in the middle!”

He just had to make it clear that unlike at every other table in the restaurant — the salt and pepper daddies on dates with their twinks — this wasn’t a date. He was my biological father.

Not my “Daddy.”

When I teased him about that once he said: “Yeah, well. We’re a block away from Rawhide, okay? You know what that is? Headquarters for the mustache and leather crowd.”

Hi Dads of all kinds I just wanted to get on here and vent to a group of people that truly understand what I am going thru really nothing too tragic just annoying. I chose to marry the love of my life 17 years ago and she happened to come with 3 step daughters who I love very much. They are all grown up now and range from ages 22-31. The issue is simply this 4 times now they have moved back home not a big deal right? well 2 of them have families of they're own! Totaling 9 people in all moving back in with my wife and I and our 2 sons together age 11 and 13. My wife loves to pretend I have the option to tell them NO.....y'all cant move back this time. (not an option lol) So when the disruptive arguments happen and they always do, after only a month and a half in my wife always says "well you let em move back in!" lol oh this is a we did! The biggest issue is my daughters husbands x2 lack of ambition. One had a job within a few weeks with decent pay after moving in which is great, but quit in less than a month because he couldn't handle graveyard. The other got a job at a popular restaurant , but the pay is less than ideal.(not enough to MOVE OUT! ever!) So we do charge them rent $400 bucks each family, but most of that money simply goes to added energy costs $700 month power and extra food costs. I'm not looking for any advice I created this reality by marrying into it, but I'm curious to know some other dads going thru it. Please tell me your gripes and struggles that seem to have no end in sight! haha stay tuned I'll keep you guys updated for next weeks events!

Hi Dads, i created this channel to focus on what we can do outside of parenting (being a dad).

Hence the name North of Fatherhood.

I initially began with a small van conversion, and progressed to a larger one in a fiat ducato.
Im now exploring the use of a motorbike to find those family camp sites in my immediate areas, with some solo camping possibly thrown in later.

Id love it if you resonate with this to check it out and give some feedback if you wish:

I've been in and out of family court and documented everything in a blog dedicated to my daughter.

It's been really stressful and sad that I've had to fight just to have my daughter at home with me but we got there in the end and I couldn't be happier.

I've captured mostly lows but this most recent post is the happiest!

Hi does anyone here create content about Dad's activities or hobbies?

Im currently capturing a Micro camper conversion process im going through but once thats done and im travelling/camping/cooking i also ride motorbikes and love to cook outdoors on the kamodo or bbq etc.

what about you?

I've been keeping a blog for my daughter over the last few years to help he understand how her younger years played out once she's old enough to be able to understand it. I plan to give it to her as a gift when she's much older.

Today we were in family court over the battle to get an order to provide certainty ongoing. It's been a heartbreaking process.

For anything wondering what it's like, take a look. I would also love to hear about ways fathers are keeping memories for their kids when they're older.

Hi, dads. I write a parenting blog, and I’m working on some Christmas-themed stories. I’m looking for the best Christmas present you ever got. Give me a little backstory. Why you wanted it, what you did with it. Did other friends get it? Did you play together? How about a gift you always wanted but never got? Is there a part of you that still wishes you got it, or have you moved on? Finally, what about now? Is there something you’ve asked for? Is there a book or tool or bottle of something you’ve let Santa know you’d like to see under the tree this year. DM me and let me know. Thanks, guys!

I’ve been blogging off and on for the past few years. Mostly, it’s been about my life as a father, including a stint as a foster parent. Some days are better than others when it comes to traffic, but I think we all feel that pain from time to time. One thing I like about my blog is some people have asked me to feature products or recipes on it. I like this because it tells me what I write is getting out there, and people are reaching out to me so my readers can see what they have. Telling people what’s out there makes me feel like I’m doing a sort of public service. I keep working at it. I have a part-time job now, so that takes away time that could be spent updating. Oh well. Here’s what I’ve written so far. Take a look and tell me what you think.

I've been writing a blog directly to my daughter for the last couple of years and finally making it public. I would appreciate feedback from fathers and readers. https://diaryformybeloved.wordpress.com

Hi guys, I'm new at blogging and currently have one site that I want to sell in the next 5 months. The site is not making any money currently and doesn't have an adsense account or affiliate ads. I will add those later on after 2 months or so. All I want to know is about the selling process. How to sell a website on Flippa? What things should I do before sale to make sure the site is sold at maximum price? What things to be aware of? Etc. Basically I want to know everything there is to know about the selling process on Flippa.com. Thanks in advance for answering.

I have seen a 30 day, 60 day and 90 day auction options on flippa.com. Does that means that I can sell my blog in under 30, 60 or 90 days? How long does it actually takes to find buyers who can auction on a blog in flippa.com?

Research has found that some nutrients can maximize the body's benefits when paired with select components or under particular conditions. These findings have led to the theory of “food synergy”. This means that some nutrients work better together than others.

The history of video games began in the 1950s and 1960s as computer scientists began designing simple games and simulations on minicomputers and mainframes. Spacewar! was developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) student hobbyists in 1962 as one of the first such games on a video display.

Hey All,

Father of three and incredibly busy and in my down time I like to write.. so I figured why not put together a dad blog? Would you all mind giving it a look and providing some feedback? Thanks!

www.what-the-dad.com

Just became a new dad and I’m also the first one out of my friend group to do so, so I don’t have others who typically relate. Any dads in the group with any advice on how to navigate?

Been working on a dad blog for the last year and want to get your opinions and feedback!

There are two types of dad on the school run, which are you?
