It's not that as her dad, I don't have opinions about whether or not my seven year-old child has a snack before dinner or gets to stay up past her bedtime on a school night to finish the episode of Sponge Bob. I do. I just got tired of "the look" from my wife.
I'm not really sure why mom has rule making and veto power in our house (and my house growing up and my friends' houses). Perhaps the person who carries the child inside her uterus for nine months is tacitly awarded majority parent voting rights. Hard to argue with that!
And although fathers might not always get their way or might disagree with mom's way of doing something, we still play an important role and get to enjoy the amazing experiences of being a parent. As an added bonus mom might even let us make a decision or two every once in a while to let us think we are in charge.
To be honest, most of the blogs about parenting that I have seen are published by moms. They are all mostly well written and offer great stories, insight and advice. However, dads need a stronger voice. My hope for this blog is that fathers can come together and share similar stories, insight and advice...from a dad's perspective. The stories are meant to be lighthearted and who knows...maybe we'll even learn something along the way.
