Sleepovers

What really happens at a girl sleepover

When I was a kid, I did “sleepovers” at my friend’s houses. By the time I was double-digit age, it was no longer “cool” and it stopped.

Coming Out, #Family, and #Music with Lord Christian at #DadChat

Boys Scouts of America

                                     Christian – Eagle Scout

Every parent wants the best for their kids. I asked the Moral Question of the Week, WHICH do you want most for your kids – to be Happy, Good, or Successful? Yes, we want all three but not on that list is, do you care about your kid(s) sexuality? I would assume that most of the #DadChat community is open-minded and, dare I say, inclusive. I know there’s no homophobia in our community BUT that doesn’t answer the question of how YOU would deal with a child that is questioning his or her sexuality? We are going to TAKE THIS ON with co-host Christian Hollingsworth aka Lord Christian, who has lived it and then some this Thursday July 21 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET.

Modern Relationships Stink

Old comic about relationships

The other night my wife and I went on a date night to a very nice restaurant. We had a very nice waitress who was attractive, friendly, and declared almost immediately that she wasn’t going to have any children. Huh? I then asked her if she had a boyfriend. She instantly and disdainfully said, “No way.”
