Work-O-R-Kuh-and-Oh!!!

I know I've been absent since Thursday's post but I've been working my bung off on this ridiculous last minute project for work that has managed to suck up the last three days and nights like some sort of sucking machine that sucks things dry until they can't be sucked no more.





Wait a minute... why am I horny all of a sudden?

Anywhich, I'm still neck-deep in the muckety-fuck, so I'll have to catch up with all the wacky, crabby goings on tomorrow sometime... which, by the way, is rumored to be another snow day...

Controlled crying or uncontrolled feeding?

In our little breastfeeding community we recently realized that somehow we ended up with the short straw when it comes to our babies sleeping through the night. Our bottle feeding friends seem to have very few sleepless nights or even any disruptions at night. How unfair to follow nature's way and then get nocturnal stress as a pay back.

Perhaps it's a developmental stage thing – most of our babies in the group are now between 7 and 10 months old. Even the ones who used to sleep through the night have started waking up frequently. It's the age of pain and gain for babies. On the one hand they have to put up with a lot of pains (teething, digestion, bruises) and on the other hand there are exciting new ways to explore their environment now (crawling, walking, rolling). Maybe that's why they just can't sleep at night – or not as long as they used to. On top of that there is the attachment to the breast and closeness to mum for comfort and nourishment. So what to do to get a peaceful night? ... read more >>

A Podcast hosted on International Dad featuring show hosts Scott Lancaster and co-hosts Eric Mooij and Stefan Korn from DIYFather.com.

Today guest is Dave Hagler, founder of suburbandaddy.com.


Dave Hagler is a dad of three boys and he lives in the suburbs in Northern Virginia. He got tired of all the mom-focused information sources on parenting. So he started his blog to share thoughts, experiences, stories, and information from a dad's point of view.

I Told Me So...



Do I really need to talk about today? Is it necessary to mention the goddamn foot of snow outside and the again-with-the-no- school and the hacking/hocking spawnage and the dickloads of work I have to do? Yeah, I thought not.

I will mention this, though. Remember that game I invented where I basically take a nap on the couch and the spawnage put different things in my hand and I have to guess what said things are? Well, we were playing that again (surprise) and there was one item that had me completely stumped. It felt like some sort of little vial, and when I shook it, I could hear something lightly clattering around inside of it, but I couldn't figure out what the fuck it was. Finally, I gave up and opened my eyes. This is what I was holding:



It's a tiny glass jar that Miss O has apparently been saving her discarded, used band-aids in. That's my girl. Little Dr. Frankenspawn. You know, she's always wanted a little sister... maybe she's trying to clone a wee, scabby version of herself. Who knows what other little jars she's got stashed away, stuffed with fuck knows what? I think the next time I play the guessing-while-napping-game, I'm gonna wear me some rubber gloves.

Breastfeeding - you are doing it wrong!

Just loving this photo I came across whilst browsing articles on our buddy blog "Gaming with Baby". I guess originally it's from a site called icannhascheezburger.com but well done for digging this one up Will!

Does my baby look big in this? What your stroller says about you

Let's assume for a moment that as fathers we have the ultimate say in what kind of buggy gets bought for our baby (or let's assume that we are all masters in the art of influencing our partners in such a way that they think they got what they wanted). The result is ... we've got a new stroller for the baby. But what does that stroller say about our personality? So here is the ultimate DIYFather take on stroller personality types for fathers:

Mountain Buggy Terrain XL
You are obsessed with the outdors. Mountains, beaches and mud holes are in your blood and you live every moment to escape the city. This tractor of a stroller is not for your kid, but rather for the kid in you. You are constantly tempted to sit in the stroller yourself and ride down a steep mountain ridge. You are a mountain goat.
