As a parent, should you advise other parents?

Nobody likes people who butt into their business.  They offer suggestions and voice their opinions when we may not want or need them.   This can be especially true when it comes to parents and the style or manner in which they raise their children.

We encountered two situations recently where we didn’t say anything, but left possibly wishing that we should have.

Daddy Mojo reviews: the Schwinn AirDriver 1100 floor pump

I came downstairs this morning and my wife asked me how to use the bike pump.  I started laughing and then told her that this bike pump was sent from a dank, isolated place to torture us all. Continue reading Daddy Mojo reviews: the Schwinn AirDriver 1100 floor pump

Parents, runny noses, Boogie Wipes and DISCO!

The many benefits of cold weather are skiing, snowboarding and blue horizons pierced by pine trees that challenge the sky for height.  Alas, if you’re a mom or dad who doesn’t happen to live in Colorado, then cold weather means runny noses, sick children and a yearning to be a parent in one of those mountain states.

A child with a runny nose is a disgusting thing.  Your child with a runny nose is an angel that needs to have their nose wiped before they re-enact the movie Up with mucus bubbles. Continue reading Parents, runny noses, Boogie Wipes and DISCO!

DIY a Stay at Home Dad can do-A new shower head

We wanted a new shower head.  The old one was gold plated, peeling and looked like it was from the 80s; and not the good 80s either, the bad 80s. Yup, the 80s’s had great moments, but this shower head was more like Saga than Pat Benetar and that’s not a good thing. Continue reading DIY a Stay at Home Dad can do-A new shower head

The evolution of guy to husband to dad: The Music

In the early 90s, when I had just gotten out of college I remember seeing an editorial cartoon.  It showed two slackers at the garbage dump, in front of a pile of old LPs, CDs and a sign over a third pile that said ‘the next music format’.  “What could be greater than CD’s?” I thought.  Until music starts being piped in through brain waves I guess MP3s are as good as it gets.

An iPad for under performing students in Georgia-UPDATE

Last week I wrote a post about the fact that the state of Georgia is thinking about purchasing an iPad for some of the under performing students in Georgia.  Unbelievably Georgia officials are still in serious talks and consideration to follow through on this idea. It was a bad idea last week and it hasn’t gotten any better with seven days of age. Continue reading An iPad for under performing students in Georgia-UPDATE

The evolution of guy to husband to father: The Wardrobe

Guys are a tricky lot.  Sometimes aspects of our personality or behavior may not be what are best for hygiene, friendships or employment.  Part of that trickiness* can be attributed to youth, while other traits can only be laid solely on the backs of our Guy DNA. Continue reading The evolution of guy to husband to father: The Wardrobe

Daddy Mojo asks, “What are the top 5 Jackie Chan movies?”

Jackie Chan is a martial arts super hero.   He has also starred in almost 100 movies, not all of them are good or even worth watching.     When I lived in Japan I had a chance to watch most of his pre 1994 movies.

Now that I’m a parent, my time is more precious and I don’t have the luxury of watching really bad movies.    Continue reading Daddy Mojo asks, “What are the top 5 Jackie Chan movies?”
