While we are in the area of %BLOGTITLE%, It is great to turn to friends and family members to assist you when you are feeling down. Many people unfortunately do not have a supportive family to turn to though, and other people simply find strength in turning to someone who is not intimately involved in their lives.

Comment on Breastfeeding… That’s Man’s Work! by Melissa

I love your perspective! As an aunt, I had similar questions about pumping when my sister started to do it, and I have a Ph.D. in child development! Another reason to thank your wife: feeding your baby is a special time for social interaction (for a TON of reasons, including being at just the right distance from your infant for them to actually be able to focus on you). It is so wonderful that men can now participate in this time, as well.

Well, chalk up another show I will avoid and “accidentally” delete off the DVR if it shows up.

Hmmm…I have no earthly idea what this show means for the progress of women in general. Honestly, I don’t really care, either. It’s obviously a show geared toward women and the women I know probably wouldn’t care one whit what I think about it anyway.

I learned a long time ago not to walk by while one of these shows are on and say what comes to my mind. You know, like “This looks really stupid” or “How can you watch this sh**?” To all you young husbands out there: never, never do this

Here is why… we men have been watching unscripted reality television for decades, only we call it “sports”. If you don’t want to hear them say they think your NFL game sucks, then clear out when “More to Love” even comes on!

Great blog Dad! Love the part about Jack and Jackies, I come across many of those myself in and out of my work life. There is a lot of talk involving work-life integration in magazines, blogs, etc, but I appreciate your blog, and the others I see on your site, that tackle the issue from a fresh perspective. Well done. I look forward to reading future posts.

While not driven by technology, I think this has been one of the major complaints of mothers over the years as well - you NEVER get to take time off. You are ALWAYS working. And now as we find ways to work from home, we are actually working two jobs that never end! Glad you ended on a positive note. Hey, I used to work for the Ritz cracker boss too. Small world!
