Preemptive Preparation

While recently sifting through the boxes of papers in my storage unit, I stumbled across a few of the documents I saved from my divorce. I now see how proactive and prepared I was. It is pretty amazing to see…

Instant Custody

If you knew that you would automatically get custody and not have to pay child support and/or alimony, would you be more likely to file for divorce if you were really unhappy in your marriage or relationship? Let me guess…

The Prenup

Is Gabrielle Union being unromantic or is this a wise move on her part?

Is she planning for a divorce or protecting her assets?

Is she being wise or selfish?

If a man does this, would you feel the same?

Hank Azaria, Kevin Bacon and Bryan Cranston on fatherhood

Celebrity dads including Kevin Bacon, Bryan Cranston and Mike Myers open up to Hank Azaria as he quizzes them about fatherhood in this candid documentary series.

It’s not often you’ll see Hollywood personalities speaking so openly and honestly about such an intimate subject, but Hank ‘s frank questioning encourages his friends to speak from the heart.

Hank is best known for his work on The Simpsons. He provides the voices for Moe, Apu, Chief Wiggum and Comic Book Guy.

Although his work is loved by children the world over, Hank had never seen the appeal of having kids of his own. He’d reached an age when many of his friends had started families and so he set out to make a documentary about what makes someone want to be a father.

But in the process of filming Hank’s girlfriend discovers she is pregnant causing Hank to rethink the documentary and turn it into a very personal and touching record of his journey into fatherhood, as he seeks advice from his famous friends.

Disposable Father

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCNZByBU2-0 This girl and mother don’t need this man do they? Who CARES about this bum. He’s just another father who was probably a batterer right? He was probably threatening his wife and she was bound to be a victim…

Barbara Kay on institutional feminism and misandry

Acknowledging the quiet feminist coup d’etat… the pernicious misandry… the militant and divisive zero-sum/win-lose assumptions of the ruling feminist movement… unfair treatment of males as disposable…the apparently shocking notion that women are capable of violence.

Daddy’s Girl

10:10AM Jan 21, 2003 – The doctor and his crew yelled out “OH MY GOD!!” We wondered what was wrong. Was she born with two heads? Does she have webbed feet? Is she dead?

Nope. Sahaar was 9 pounds 11 ounces. A BIG baby.

11 years later, I still say OMG.

Fatherhood has changed my life for the better and I am thankful for two beautiful children. The truth is, when a couple finally gives birth to a boy or a girl, they are not having a “baby.” They are creating a human being. Kids grow fast. They really do.

I sacrificed a lot to be with both of my kids during the day and not miss out on the most important parts of their young childhood. No regrets at all. I also don’t regret fighting a court system hell-bent on breaking my family into pieces during my divorce. I’m so glad I fought…and WON.

I think I only have a year or two left with my daughter before the hormone rush kicks in and she won’t want to have anything to do with me. It’s ok. I get it. I didn’t miss a thing over the past 11 years.

I can’t wait to see her again when she comes back around after her teenage years and wants to hang with her dad again in her 20’s – LOL. I have a feeling that there is a good enough foundation for here to make good decisions.

However, new research is increasingly concluding that fathers greatly influence their daughter’s self-esteem,…
