Putting our children in bad or compromising positions is an absolute no no, but some of us do it anyway, not knowing who or what is just a stones throw away whishing our children harm, we need to stop!

As men we may not see a support network in our friends but thats just what they are and we need to acknowledge how important they are and what key roles they play.

The English summer is here and the children have been let out of school for about 6 weeks, ( what do we do ? ) its time to get our imaginations flowing and our children smiling, finding activities for them can be hard and expensive but they are out there we just need to look harder.

is a big thing now and getting even bigger, we as parents have to be aware of our children's feeling and their surroundings to make sure the affects of life are helping them in a way that is benefiting them.

Your finances are not suppose to be a joke but it seems like most of us take our finances for some kind of plaything not knowing how important they are to us and to the next generation, being able to provide for your children is a blessing and we need to prepare for when were gone.

So many of us fathers have had no positive influence input in our lives its truly sad but we as fathers have an opportunity to turn that around, and with all the strength i can muster you can trust im going to try and be a positive influence in my sons lives and i hope you will do the same or similar.

A convo which in both of us had a lot to say, remember we've bot got sons and both run discipline in our houses but boys can be hard work as I'm sure dome of you already know.

Milestones come and go but the experience lasts a lifetime...

Is a long list of things we didn't expect and as my bro said its relative to the individual, we all know what kind of dad we would like to be but the reality is we may not be all that all the time but we can try and I'm sure you do I know I do.

I cant be the only person that thinks these things should be taught in school in fact I know I'm not ( I cant be ), but we as parents have not a lot of say what our children are taught only in the comfort of home and if you ask me support from school on finances, job security and personal persuite would help life itself.

Isn't something have to much experience with so I asked someone that dose my bro and he had a few things to say that made me see our children only need skills for life no matter who they are.

Is a big thing for some people and I'm on the side of yes, it keeps them pushing through adversity and going for goals. there are many different ways we can be active with our children and open new doors for them also.

Handling Stress!

However you deal with it is individual but it can make people around you wary of you but our children can always help eleviate it.

is a damn good question, and one that cant be answered easily by any one person but together im sure we can find a round about answer.

Commitment to your Family can change you!

In so many ways you wouldn't imagine, I have seen what its like first hand and its beautiful, not only do you feel better but it can be infectious.

The deeper the Explanation

sometimes isn't the one needed for every situation, sometimes a softer approach is needed. we could all do with some practice explaining things and being explained to as its all relative and can all be enhanced upon by our children.

From a Father to a Father.

What would you tell your younger self, just becoming a father and all it entails, what would you say ? too much and you may push too hard too little and it may not be what you would like, but we as fathers of boys have this to think about all the time a younger us is our sons.

Single Dads On mothers Day!

is a concept ive thought about but can't say too much on as im not in that position but at least i can ask questions and get answers from other dads that are.

Children and Chores

Don't always go hand in hand but on the off chance it dose thank your blessings,  as some of us including myself have some issues with our children completing their household tasks, but I suppose when they finally leave our home they wont have much choice but to do it themselves and we've given them all the tools to clean properly.
