#dad guide

Stepdads are now very common and everywhere to find. Ironically that makes it not easier…gifts for stepdads can be challenging depending on your relationship with your stepfather. Whether they’ve helped raised you from childhood or joined along later in life. Let’s go deeper and analyze this…..

Your Stepdad has been there for you since the day he came into your life, taking on his role as “bonus dad” without any hesitation. Or he makes just your mum happy and just respects you. It can be also a horrible stepdad who can make the family situation worst.

However, we are not here to judge and just recommend what could be the best gift for any kind of stepdad. We would not recommend giving any kind of spirit as a gift. I know it is a common tradition to give a neutral present like a bottle of scotch or wine thanks to the commercials all around us.

Dad Guide: How to Find a Job

As a parent, you are responsible for keeping your kids fed, clothed and housed. In some families there is more than one income-earning parent and in others there is a single or primary earner. Being able to provide for kids adds an additional consideration when job searching.

In an ideal world you would only ever be looking for a new job while you are currently…

Finding Patience

I am generally a pretty calm, even-keeled person. I don’t get too worked up about many things in life. Except of course when my kids push my buttons. At a very young age they have found and acted on things that frustrate me and challenge my patience.

I am continually working on better managing my frustrations and anger. I want to be more patient with my kids. I’m sure I’m not…

Dad Guide: How to Tell a Good Dad Joke

What is a Good Dad Joke?

I recognize that some of you may not think that ‘good’ and ‘dad joke’ are not words that should appear in the same sentence. Of course you are probably all teenagers who feel embarrassed by your dad’s sense of humour. Since that is one of the primary aims of a good dad joke, we can assume that your dad already knows his stuff.

A good dad joke should ideally involve a pun…

Dad Guide: Make Time For Your Kids

Make Time For Your Kids

Many of us were raised in households where our fathers were physically or emotionally absent, part-time or where they adhered to identities as providers and not necessarily caregivers.

We are now starting toilet training for the last time.  (more…)

Dad Guide: How to Help Your Homesick Child

Homesick at Summer Camp

I was a summer camp kid. I went to my first two week sleep over camp when I was nine. I’m not sure if I was homesick the whole time. I do very clearly remember sitting on the steps of my cabin with my camp counsellor talking about it. I don’t remember what he said or how much it helped or didn’t help. I did go back the next year and several more after that. (more…)

Support Your Partner

This post assumes your partner is a woman who has given birth

Growing and getting a baby out of a body requires a certain degree of work and trauma to the human body involved. If your partner has just gone through this process your job for the next several weeks is going to be all about providing her and your new baby with support, especially if your partner is breastfeeding.
