Showing results for "But" in Fatherhood

Adam rips parenthood a new one, telling it straight about what adults must do if they don't want to have to support their kids forever. Using his own crappy childhood as a cautionary tale, and touting the pitfalls of the kind of helicopter parenting so pervasive today, Daddy, Stop Talking is the only parenting book you should ever read.

Are you ready to have kids? More and more gay men are turning to adoption and surrogacy to start their own families. An estimated two million American LBGTQ people would like to adopt and an estimated 65,000 adopted children are living with a gay parent. Unlike other parenting books that have whole chapters focusing on things specifically related to mothers (such as how to get the perfect latch when breastfeeding), this parenting book replaces those sections with things relevant to gay dads.

At 53, Kevin Nealon thought he had it all: a massive international celebrity with legions of loyal fans; a fabulous modeling career; hundreds of millions of dollars in the bank; and the most recognizable face on the planet. Nealon had accomplished the impossible: a 30-year career in show business with only limited trips to rehab. But just like every other celebrity, he felt that was not enough. The perpetually insatiable Nealon wanted more, and for him "more" meant a little addition that drooled, burped, and pooped (no, not a Pomeranian).

So, you’re getting ready to become a first-time dad. Do you know what to expect? There are a lot of pregnancy books out there, but the majority of them are aimed towards moms. Let’s be honest—they are the ones giving birth, but it would be nice if dads had a good idea of what they could expect. That’s why this pregnancy book for first time dads is what you need. Just thinking about the pregnancy week by week seems daunting, but there's nothing really to worry about when you have support, something which this book aims to provide.

Strong Enough for a Man but Made for a Woman is a controversial analysis of great importance that many people intentionally ignore today. Three of which are the challenges in coparenting, child custody and support laws, and the Family Court System that is certainly capable of supporting fathers but is inherently designed for mothers, nonetheless. Through a series of real-life experiences, research, and the legalities of child support, the author examines the correlation between the narcissistic parent and the absent parent.

Like many of us, Jason Gay didn’t see this coming: a reshaped world, on edge, often stuck at home, questioning everything, trying to navigate a digital landscape that changes how we think, parent, coach, and live. With a series of topical and interconnected personal pieces, Gay comically takes on this new state of being, looking for the optimism and joy in the face of discouragement. Gay's essays run the gamut of modern life and he approaches it all with humility, grace, and more than a few laughs.

Follow along with me as I fumble through the first few years of fatherhood in real time. A father to two young boys, I've been documenting the transformations, the stumbles, the minor successes that resonate like world-changing victories and the hysterical fails that remind me that children are literally made to survive our shortcomings. Hell, they can even thrive in the face of them.
