It’s the holiday season, and holiday greeting cards are arriving in my mailbox.
Besides the Christmas and New Years cards, I get a good number of photo greeting cards and cards with year-end recaps.
It’s my one time of year to learn all the exotic places friends traveled, impressive talents learned by their kids, etc.

A friend recently asked why my single parent blog covers such wide-ranging topics. Of course, there are single parenting tips and advice about divorce separation, co-parenting with an ex, raising children in a two-home family, child custody agreements.

Well, as [...]
A Dad’s House reader politely pointed out that I have it much easier as a divorced man who coparents with my ex, than a full time single dad. To wit:
I don’t mean to diminish what you do as a single dad, but you don’t do it alone. You have 1/2 custody and they have a [...]
