How waiting tables can help you be a better parent

Working as a waiter in a restaurant is one of those life skills that you don’t realize is a life skill when you’re doing it.  Similar to some people I worked as a waiter when I was between jobs or attending school.  I didn’t realize it at the time, but those skills that I learned during those many restaurants have improved who I’ve become as a parent.

What does a stay at home dad do on Mother’s Day?

In a stereotypical situation the mom takes care of the kids, goes shopping, does some errands and cooks.  In those situations the ideal gift for Mother’s Day is a day at the spa or time away from the family.  This would leave the father in charge of the family where it’s presumed that the house would implode, the hot water heater would burst; no diapers would be changed and if they were it would result in the babies poop ending up on dad’s face.

A bunny is a bad gift this Easter

As an animal guy this dad is all for getting a pet for the family.  Any pet that is being adopted should always have plenty of thought regarding expenses, lifestyle and considerations if said pet is appropriate for your situation.  Lastly, the adoption process shouldn’t be motivated by popular trends or holidays.  If Disney releases a movie about the cute exploits of a porcupine dog that smells of sulfur, but has cute eyes and loves children then parents around the world would be looking for this smelly beast to adopt.

Daddy Mojo says: Pregnant women smell good

As a dad and comic book geek I often fantasize about super powers and which one, presuming I could have only one, I would choose.  It has to be a super power and not an object that gives you certain abilities.  So doing a Green Lantern or having multiple abilities like Superman or Spider Man isn’t an option.     Though, it would be cool to be able to control the fish like Aquaman, but then I’d totally have to lay off the seafood.

Dad hears Electrolytes but can only think Electro Woman

The other day Toddler Mojo didn’t have any mojo at all.  He was cranky, yelling at everything and was unpleasant to be around.  If he were 19 years old I would’ve told him to get his own apartment.  However, as he’s 18 months old I knew that something was up with our growing Mojo.
